Hey fellas -
I got a message that said “Error Opening File” from the flash Audio Player. Thought you should know.

Also, I actually saw this on the news last night here in Japan! (Not the radio bit. The NOVA story.) I’m not an avid news watcher, mostly due to schedule restrictions and the fact that I get my news faster via the internet, but I was pleasantly surprised by that.

I don’t know what to tell you, Deas. It’s working in Firefox and IE 6.0 here, I don’t see any problem with the file - all appears normal.

TV Tokyo, right? This story has been popping its head up bit by bit. Ultimately, though, if it’s going to get more coverage, people involved with the company are going to have to push it to the media and they’re not doing that.

There’s a good chance I’m wrong, but I expect to see Nova go under without generating a front-page headline, except maybe at the Japan Times.

I would appreciate my surname not being used, as it may identify my son, who is \”working\” for Nova in Osaka. He has been there two months, got last month\’s pay, but along with all other Nova employees is not optimistic there will be anything in his bank account this Friday. Thank you ABC National for highlighting this problem. I have to \”feed\” info from Google News and the Japan Times to my son, its the only way he and his fellow workers get any information at all, about what is happening.
