    WARNING -- see above:

    BE CAREFUL about visiting that ENSEMBLE OF THE DREAMINGS site. Soon as I got there my computer locked up -- cdn't work the mouse/cdn't hit CTRL ALT DEL to reboot --
    FROZEN! And when I finally shut it off/it wouldn't boot at all! That's never happened to me online before. Thank God for boot disks!

    Good heavens! Sorry...

    They did warn that some of the sound files and shockwave and stuff might require you to expand your RAM. But you had to get to the page to see the warning! I think it was the gif animation or something. Totally not worth it

    I once crashed and got a virus warning from a page about what was playing in the Hell room at the Masquerade (a club); never got around to visiting there again and considered it a warning.

    About the Ensemble of the Dreaming page: the gif animations have been removed. They were no doubt indulgent and slowed down the load time. But I haven't heard of that causing a system crash of the magnitude you describe before. The page should load fine without having to increase RAM. The note about increasing RAM is precautionary only if you plan to view the Shockwave file. I honestly suspect it was something else that might have caused your crash.
By R.C. on Thursday, January 8, 1998 - 06:31 pm:
    I already have Shockwave/so I don't see why it should've crashed me -- so hard that I couldn't re-boot. I'm not EVEN trying to visit that Dreaming page again!
By Martin Herman on Friday, January 9, 1998 - 03:17 pm:
    R.C., I'm really sorry you had such a traumatic experience with the dreaming page! The index page really is pretty lo-tech, so to speak. It doesn't *require* shockwave or realaudio or any real time streaming plug-ins unless you chose to visit those areas of the site once you are in. I am not trying to talk you into visiting the page again, but I really do suspect something else was going on when your computer crashed which probably wasn't caused in such a major way by the page. I've never heard of any other reports of crashes caused when folks visited this site.
By R.C. on Friday, January 9, 1998 - 03:51 pm:
    Okay M.H. -- I'm at a public terminal now/& wouldn't care less if it crashes/so I'll check out the Dreaming page again.
