MIDI and animation

I received a couple of comments, indicating that putting MIDI (music) and animations on one and the same webpage tends to overload older computers and/or older web browsers. It tends to make the MIDI stutter and/or the animations choppy. I have just turned off the MIDI on most of my webpages in favor of better performance of the animations. (I did some testing with the oldest versions of web browsers that I happen to have kept on my hard disk, the computer that I happen to have, is itself pretty good). I am obviously not perfectly happy with this situation, but true multimedia on the web with short download times and without requiring the latest and the greatest of computers and web browsers (i.e. having all the goodies at the same time) does not seem realistic at the moment. ,, ( "> ,(->)-> http://members.aol.com/petecasso ( ^^ Frogstein and Birdstein (ascii art comic strips) Jump, Frogstein, Jump!
