Logo appears, spins. The background is the corporate color.

Audio
"Welcome to the SUBDIVISION Support Site Tour." The
narrator is female, contralto, precise, with a slight British
accent. Her cool measured tones will contrast with the slightly
goofy animations.
Visual
The PRODUCT looms into view. Doors and lid open to show the interior.

Audio
"The Support Site lets SUBDIVISION's customers find information
about PRODUCT systems quickly and efficiently. The site provides
downloadable software, documentation, Frequently Asked Questions,
and more."
Visual
Software code streams down left side of the screen, running off
the bottom. White curled pages of documentation flutter down the
right side. Big question marks in different colors fade in and
out at the center.

Audio
"At any time, you can click the pop-up menu to jump to the
section you want."
Visual
Pop-up menu winks into place. Buttons light up one by one.

Audio
"The site is available all day, all hours, from all over
the world."
Visual
Clock with spinning hands. A streamer of flags from all nations
whirls in from the right, spirals around in a helix, and flits
off screen.

Audio
"And now, the details..."
Visual
Web page fades into view. DOCUMENTATION button is highlighted.
The background is purple. (The background cycles through the rainbow
with each topic change, emphasizing the new area. Thus the demo
starts with a dark background and proceeds to a light background
by the end. This color scheme subtly/subconsciously reinforces
where the user is at all times.)

"All our test documentation..."
Visual
A HUGE stack of manuals drops into view and slams down so hard
it rocks the screen.
8
Audio
"... is available on-line. There are manuals, bulletins,
alerts, retrofits, checker variances, application notes, white
papers, and hardware specs - all downloadable."
Visual
The stack magically fragments into ones and zeroes and flies like
a swarm of bees onto the web site.

Background shifts to blue, signalling the next topic. Web page
fades into view. FAQ button is highlighted.

Audio
"Frequently Asked Questions are available at the click of
a button. The list will be updated regularly."
Visual
Questions in different colors stream in from left and right, cross
the screen, and run off the opposite side. So many questions they
overwrite one another.
Text for questions:
- Is it possible to dual boot the ABC N.0 operating system?
- Can hard drives be swapped from one computer to another in the
event of a hard drive crash?

Some questions are goofy.
- Does the PRODUCT come in pink?
- Will the PRODUCT float?
- What's the difference between a PRODUCT and an elephant?
- How many engineers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
- Where did I leave my car keys?

"Both customers and YYYYYY employees can submit F-A-Qs. You
can search F-A-Qs by keyword."
Visual
A form field is blank, then letters type into it. (The typing
is slow hunt-and-peck typing. One letter is mistyped, backspaced,
and retyped.): p-o-w-e-r s-u-p-p-l-y. The SUBMIT button blinks.
A line of FAQs then scroll underneath and off the screen.

Background shifts to red, signalling next topic. Web page fades
into view. INTERFACE button is highlighted.

"The PRODUCT Interface is where the PRODUCT is adapted for
different uses around the world."
Visual
Skeleton globe fades into view. All over it, at various YYYYYY
sites, are winking points of colored light.
14
Audio
"The Interface Group has experts from all fields to help
customers modify the PRODUCT for local conditions."
Visual
The colored lights fade out. The inside of the globe is cut out
like a round window. We see the room full of engineers all busy
at work, or a closeup of three or four people poring over some
piece of test equipment.
15
Audio
"Our web site helps you figure out what modifications you
need. It provides specifications, drawings, photographs, theory,
procedures, and anything else you need."
Visual
The web page reappears. The INTERFACE button is still highlighted.
Now a sub-menu appears at the top, glowing: Overview, Current
Line, Software, Current Projects, Project Request.

Audio
"The Current Line tells you which integration solutions are
available."
Visual
Now the L3 menu appears at the right: Overview, Interface Overview,
Solutions Gallery, Product Matrix. The first choice, Overview,
glows. Sample pictures of tester manipulators and other gadgets
slide from left to right, right to left.

Audio
"The Interface Overview explains the theory behind YYYYYY's
Coupling and Docking, then gives you step-by-step instructions."
Visual
The L3 menu item Interface Overview glows. The display is the
Acrobat page for PRODUCT Kinematic Docking System Mechanical Alignment
Process, which has a photo of a machine partly disassembled.
