OK - done. At least for the latest event. We'll add it to the
previous ones later.

Sorry, no. 3 reasons:
- the non-fullscreen panoramas do NOT have the spinControl addition
- the controller gives information on hotspots should they exist
- the controller lets the user know that it's 'more than a picture'

We would prefer to remain a little more platform agnostic than this.
F11 doesn't do anything on the Mac and recommending a specific
browser seems like a little more of a personal choice than one
website has the business of getting into. There are apparently some
problems with SP2 and IE that I'm just now looking into. We'll look
into this further.
Thanks for your comments. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
We do value everyone's input and don't mean to ignore any comments,
suggestions, or criticisms.
