[Geysers] make a geyser erupt during 'your time'

[Pat Snyder]

Sheri, is your concern that they shouldn't indicate to kids that they 
can "make it erupt"? Most children, I would hope, could distinguish 
between playing with an internet video and being in the park and 
actually watching it erupt for themselves. National Geo. might have had 
some kind of warning wording on the site, such as "In Yellowstone, you 
can't do this yourself," but that might be overkill, too. There's a 
pretty good explanation of OF's cycles on the previous page, given that 
kids read that, they should be able to understand that it's "just a 
video".

Overall, I think that link is pretty cool, actually. I just had a 
little bit of trouble getting it to load (I am on dial up, 
unfortunately) and the technology is a bit dated, but being able to see 
the eruption in stages from varying views is interesting!

Just my 2¢.
