DATAWORLD tends to only show the start and end pic + play the module if
you've only got 2MB RAM, you need 4MB Fast to see the demo.
Anyway DATAWORLD is crap, sure it looked good on the big screen at the
party, but anything looks good on that, on a real monitor (or even just a
TV) it not really that great. And besides it's just 80MB's of pure
animation and nothing else.
