    Neat link Mark!!! (The embedded video doesn’t work, though. It stpopped at TED. I had to click on the “talks dictionaries” link to see the actual talk.)

    That should be: “It stopped at the image of the word “TED”.”.

    Worked fine for me, folks - you just have to wait a little while for it to load after the TED image comes up, and maybe give it a bit of a hurry up by moving the cursor thingy along. Evidently designed for places where they have proper broadband!
