I just visited Italy (Roma, Firenze and Vezzia) in September. I loved
Italy! I even got to meet for the first time my cugina in Fiugni.

Fiuggi

I am glad you haven't visited Napoli, specially in this period.
It is a shame for those people (and for italians too) that the city is
really covered with rubbish, streets full of trash, and air contaminated
with putrescent materials.
Politicians and "camorra" made it. Camorra is a sort of mafia, criminal
people.
And the problem is growing without no solution.
They are trying to transport that rubbish abroad and in other italian
regions, but local people are in rebellion against this "solution".

My mother's maiden name was DiMarcantonio.

Marcantonio, as you know, was an ancient important political man who lived
in Rome about 2000 years ago, so probably this name come from ancient Rome!!

I am half Italian and half Irish. Which should, to anyone astute enough,
explain any strange messages I may have ever posted here.

You may have taken the best from these two people. The important thing is
that your ancestors weren't from Napoli....)

No, I said, and I meant, "Fiugni."

I know! I just read about that in the newspaper last week. Horrible.

Yes, and loosely, the reference is "the house of Marc Anthony." Or so
I've been told.

My mother used to use a mild curse: "Ah, Fa Napoli!" Not sure of the
spelling, just phonetically renderered. She also had some other
colorful utterances, some of which I later heard in The Godfather movie
and realized she was a lot saltier lady than I knew!

I'm curious to see how the featured clock works in all 3 main browsers
with just <object> and no <embed>

<embed> hasn't been a necessity since Netscape 4.x went the way of the
Tasmanian Tiger.

I still use it. How else do you embed a video (as a file, not by
streaming) in such a way that it uses the user's desktop's favoured
choice of video player for assets of that content type?

AFAIK, you can't do this with <object>, as <object> requires the page
author to imply one or more player applications. <a> has similar
behaviour to <embed>, but obviously doesn't embed within the page.

Maybe not for Flash, but I've needed it to get some other vids to load
properly in all the 3 biggies. Conditional coding _might_ have worked, but
who knows the details?
