  I would like to thank everyone who helped with the morning testing 
session.  We have made some configuration changes on the VM and revised 
the afternoon testing script below.

Please connect to ATS IRC channel #StreamingTest and post any problems 
you see during the testing period.

We would like your thoughts on the overall performance of this new 
system.  Please use the following questions as a starting point for your 
feedback:

    1. How long did it take for each media file to start playing?
    2. What was the quality of the video?
    3. How many times did the video pause to refill the cache?
    4. Was the video and audio in sync?

Thanks Again for Your Help,
