[AktiviX] Linux ad

[max]

yeah, we showed it cos we thought it was so corny. we laughed at it so much we 
downloaded it (lots of jiggery pokery and jumping thro hoops, but mplayer did 
the biz). i have it if anyone wants it - 1.6mb, in .dump format - whatever 
that is, but mplayer plays it very happily.

if anyone wants it i'll stick it on some server for yous all to download.
