* WARNING *
Do not go to http://www.irishflutestore.com !
I did this morning and now every time I think about it, I start to hyperventilate and have to go get a bag.
You’ve been warned!
All the Best!

GOOOOOO, DOC! Now you can give Mr. Murray an XXX for me too. 
Heh-heh, I’m gonna hit him from both sides of the ocean.
Now I’m off to find Sean and Orla and give them REALLY, REALLY, REALLY big hugs.
Especially if you use Firefox, because it will just crash your browser. 
Hmm… loads perfectly for me. I’m running Firefox 2.0.0.3.
Hey Cat,
You are amazing! You must just have a natural magnetism to Murrays!
I was going to include a phrase in my first post, to the effect “..especially Catski..”.
But I thought that would be letting the cat out the the bag. 
All the Best!

I have that version on both my winXP machine at work and my mac at home, and even with javascript and java disabled, the main page of the site crashes the browser.
Sorry Doc, you’ve got a great service and I’ve enjoyed dealing with you, but I wish you’d fix this!
Crashes for me on FF on Windows and Mac as well.
Geese, Doc, how many you got?!!! 
You mean, like all we have to do if we want one is to buy it? No mystery about when it will be here, nuthin’ like that? Ahh, the end of an era; the readily available Murray! 
Anybody got a bunch of money they don’t need or want? 
PS Website loads fine for me on Win XP home. Maybe it’s Murray Gremlins that came over with the flutes!
Worked fine with FF 1.5.011 on a Mac … unfortunately …
Maybe y’all are running your browsers with the Murray Protection Device, aka the anti-drool widget.
First he gets email, and then this. What’s next?
I don’t think the sport will be completely gone, though. Sam’s still one lovely fellow, making one lovely flute at a time …
Working fine on FF 2.0.0.1 for Mac.
WOW.
Just, wow.
I hope he plans on supplying some in Box or, god forbid, cocus - then I could justify getting another one!
FWIW, anybody looking for a keyless, this is a no-brainer option.
Hi Monkey,
I wouldn’t begin to know how to fix it I’m afraid. If you (or anyone else) knows of something an Idaho hick could manage to fix it let me know.
The good news is I’ve hired a schmart computer guy to re-do the whole webpage. Sorry you’re having trouble.
I have three Murrays today. Should have a steady stream of them… hopefully even some boxwood and keyed stuff later this year.
Sam’s a lovely fellow. He’s not crazy about anwering emails and dealing with folks continuously phoning about their orders. So this way works well for everyone.
Have to admit I did a bit of hyperventilating myself when he called me. 
Doc
“The Murrays are coming,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
The Murrays are coming,
Hurrah! Hurrah…” 
I just placed a direct order with Sam a week or so ago. Oh, well. I’ll wait patiently. Cathy, your Murray flute was a temptation!

Good for you, Doc!
Now I know what Sam Murray was doing in Galway Post Office the other week. Good luck with the flutes over the sheugh. They’ve certainly kept many of us entertained over here for years, as has Mr. Murray himself. (He might be looking for a day off on the 16th next month but we promise not to keep him away from the lathe too long).
Doc,
Technically a web site shouldn’t be able to crash a browser (not even intentionally), so the problem is on the client computer.
Hope the new redesigned site looks as nice as this one, I love the simplicity of the current style without heavy stuff like flash or java
I was wondering if that was your point.
C’mon, Jordan, make some time for your recent acquisitions!
PS – I’m running Firefox and haven’t had any problem with Doc’s site on two different pewters.
I’m a web developer. I looked at your code. There are a lot of errors, but I can’t see how they would cause the browser to crash. Also, I was able to visit the site on my Mac with Firefox without trouble.
Anyway, to attempt a small cleanup, you might try seeing if you can rename your home page image so that it has no spaces in the file name. The browser may be having difficulty with that, especially since the file name has more than one space in a row and your image tag doesn’t encode the spaces.
Also, regarding the coding errors, you might try to see if your coffeecup editor has a code validation or code cleanup feature. Perhaps if you can clean up the errors the page won’t crash. You’ve got some rather strange errors, such as the body tag being inside a table, plus a lot of extra tags with nothing in them. I don’t think these would cause crashing but cleaning things up helps remove that from possibility, and clean code gets you better search engine rankings.
Finally, just for usability, you should change the left nagivation links to target “parent”, not “_parent”. Then they will open within the main content area. If this works in Internet Explorer, that is only because it has issues with ignoring the underscore character.
Good luck!

was the warning directed at people with FA syndrome ?
