Requirements
============
A reasonably speedy CPU (2Ghz+ recommended)
A soundcard that does MIDI
None of your fancy graphics cards, thankyouverymuch
A "modern" graphical browser (modern = IE 6, Firefox 0.9)
- optimised for Internet Explorer
It works (jerkily) on my 650Mhz Duron. 'Nuff said.
Pedants' Corner
===============
Yes, yes, I'm sure it doesn't run in Lynx, or validate as XHTML Strict, or
whatever the particular axe you like to grind may be. If this were a web page,
I'd do it properly. It isn't. It's a demo, that just happens to run inside
Internet Explorer, and anything beyond that should be considered a bonus.
Sorry if the mandelbrot part is a bit screwed in Mozilla, though. I'm as much a
Firefox fanboi as anyone else, but it seems that it isn't too hot at updating
images in time-critical situations. With any luck it's just my computer.
Apologies too for the lack of sound support on Linux (unless you can rig
something up with WINE), but I'm not aware of any de-facto MIDI-playing browser
plugins. If you are, give me a shout and I might just do something about it.
Alternatively, in the grand spirit of open source, fix it yourself. It probably
just needs another data/mooncheese_*.html wrapper.
Greetings

If you don't think you were greeted in the demo, you probably aren't looking
closely enough.
