Maybe I'm preaching to the choir with this one, but let's face it, Shockwave is very cool. If you haven't taken the time to download it, you're missing some of the best parts of the Web. And even if your browser is already "Shocked," you might want to upgrade to the latest version, since the folks at Macromedia recently reworked the Shockwave plug-in to include "Flash 2" technology, which allows you to view low- bandwidth, high-quality multimedia animations.
