The *test page* said OS, browser and my internet connection all passed the *test
page*'s scrutiny.  However, the real thing did not function.

I went BEYOND the call of duty.  I didn't work with Safari and Firefox on OSX, 
so I tried Firefox on Linux.  I even updated FF on Linux fro 49.0 to 49.0.1 in
hopes that it would help.  I then resorted to Chrome on my Android tablet only
to get Citrux complaints there too.  I wasted two hours of my life trying to
join this event â-- two hours I will never have back.  I was constantly email-
ing Parsec throughout this too. 

I've been sharing video, LOTS OF VIDEO, without any issue, and I can view all
of it with ALL of the afformentioned.  I'm even looking into doing live video
of a rocket launch but I doubt I'll obtain the bandwidth I'll need out in the
middle of the launch site.  It'll be YouTube, most likely, not Citrux because
I would prefer people see it.
