Out of 1,545 unique visitors to our site so far, 99.45% of them have JS
enabled. On a personal note I know dozens of users with Internet access,
and 0% have it disabled. Where did you find this statistic of 15%?

Thanks for the info - much appreciated. We are launching a new FF/Safari
version shortly which may solve this.

Thanks, we appreciate this. Did you find the street noise very loud? It
plays at 25% the volume of normal sounds and is quite soft background noise.

Okay, can you qualify "a lot of time to load" in seconds please. Our
research shows users will be prepared to wait no longer than 15 seconds for
a page to access. We time our page at 5 seconds for 2Gb.

Why do you feel the need to right-click the imagery? This will help us
understand whether we should remove this added deterrant and copyright
notice. It also serves as a reminder of how to use the street for anyone
confused enough to right-click.

Please appreciate this site is not aimed at the sort of users who are on
this newsgroup. It is aimed at people who do not like Internet shopping and
prefer high street shopping. Sure, they could drive into Oxford Street, but
could you get a bus to 5th Avenue when it goes online? And those who could
visit Portobello Road, could they do it without a single other person there?
We have removed all the traffic, crowds, rain. This is a unique high street
experience aimed at people who haven't wanted to shop online until now.
Hope you understand we can't please all the people all the time :)

Thanks, we will validate it again before we come out of beta.

Thanks. SSI loads 3 pages, top.htm (header) and index.shtml (body) and
bottom.htm (footer). Are you saying we should remove <html... from the body
and footer documents, so they will have no HTML tag?
Also which doctype would you recommend as a generic safe bet to try first?
We tried a common one but it added extra line spaces through the document
and made the Wingdings into normal text.

Thanks, we're looking into that.
Appreciate your feedback, cheers.
