The MAMBO site is graphically
intensive and was designed to be run in Irish primary schools over broadband
connections. We are aware, however, that some wireless broadband modems (running
at 512 Kb/s) will struggle. There are a few things you can try to increase
performance.
1. Try using our preloader - this
will load common graphical elements onto your hard drive and should improve
performance. On a 512 Kb/s wireless modem the download should take about one to
two minutes.
2. Do not clear your
browser cache after visiting the MAMBO site. This will maintain common elements
and reduce future download times.
3. If you’re using Windows
Internet Explorer, you can obtain significant performance gains on the MAMBO
site by switching to the Mozilla Firefox
browser.
The animations were constructed using Macromedia Flash. You can download
the required plug-in here.
We have extensively tested the MAMBO site on Windows machines running
the most common browsers - Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla Firefox. We
are aware, however, of a problem on Macintosh systems whereby fonts do not
display correctly. This issue is expected to be resolved in the coming
weeks.
