The video plays just fine for me. I'm running CentOS 5 (aka RHEL 5,
basically a snapshot of Fedora Core 6), Firefox 1.5.0, and Shockwave
Flash 9.0 r31.


O.K. What platform? If it is Intel based it may have a newer
version of Flash available for it. I've got:

================================================== ====================
Flash Player 7 for Solaris
Version 7.0.67.0
December 2006
================================================== ====================

so only about 3/4 of a year old, yet two major version numbers lower.
It seems that they take longer to get a given version out for the SPARC
platform than for the Intel platform.

There's no brand visible on the label. Apparently the brand name has
been blacked out. The label just reads "Heavy Duty powercell," and
looks like the label on Walgreen's store brand batteries.


Thanks.

Enjoy,
DoN.
