Default Online Bonus: Folk Art Santa 360-degree view

Hi everyone,
We're experimenting with some new software, and have developed a way for you to be able to "Virtually" turn a carving around on your screen. This is the Beta test, so please check it out, and let me know what you think; and more importantly...if it works properly for you.

Unfortunately, it only works well for people on High Speed internet; I'm not sure how it would work on dial-up.

Wow! That's great! I viewed it at work which we have cable internet service and I assume is high-speed--a lot faster than at home--I have dial-up. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to view the Santa at home but I'll check later.

Nice to be able to look at a carving almost as if you were holding it in you hand. I got a kick out of being able to see the bottom of the carving!

Fantastic idea BobD and WCI staff!

Worked perfectly for me after I figured out that all you have to do is drag your cursor around over it. Amazing!

The original picture came up good but I have dial up and an old computer and could not get anything. Anytime I click on to an area it takes quite a while to come up on this site so I played a game of boggle still didn't come up.One of the intarsia sites had this on one her books and I couldn't get it there either.
