heh.  not really.  :)   not quite sure a reference to that .mov is on
the page.   :)  the first few words of the movie should be "what you're
about to see..."

i suspect what i want looks something like:

rtsp://a772.v08015.c801.g.vq.akamaistream.net/7/772/9135/0002/peta.download.akamai.com/9135/mym2002_med.mov

but i don't recognize this kind of url.  could this be some kind of
proxy?  i tried to download
peta.download.akamai.com/9135/mym2002_med.mov but got a "forbidden"
access error.
