Q: Why doesn't the video come up when I try to watch the episode?
A: You need to have the QuickTime plug-in. You can download it from Apple at www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Q: The video takes a long time to finish downloading - why?
A: Three Abreast is optimized for a fast connection (DSL, ISDN, Cable Modem) - you can download it with a dial-up modem but it will take a while.

Q: Do I need to use Internet Explorer to watch Three Abreast?
A: Three Abreast has been optimized for Internet Explorer. I've tested it with other browsers and achieved mixed results.

Q: I get some weird glitches when I look at the site - are these bugs?
A: You may need to increase the display size of your browser (or minimize toolbars/favorite bars). If you still find something strange - please contact me at ravi@three-abreast.com - thank you!

Q: Do Ravi, Sarah and Brian really live together?
A: Yes (though Sarah is temporarily away pursuing a graduate degree).

Q: Why are there only seven episodes?
A: Each episode takes a great deal of time to produce. This project was originally envisioned as seven episodes - anything beyond that would be excessive (though some might say anything beyond one episode is excessive...).

Q: Is this inspired by Three's Company?
A: Three Abreast is inspired by numerous sitcoms (mostly from the 70s/80s).

Q: Why isn't this on TV?
A: Three Abreast was developed to be a web experience - thus the Comedy Extender and the brevity of the episodes. Who knows, maybe we'll develop "Three Abreast - The IMAX experience".

Q: I thought I visited this site a few months ago, yet the site says the launch is this March?
A: Three Abreast was up in 'beta-form' to test for a number of months. Based on the feedback I received, I've re-edited the video content and implemented several new features.

Q: How come I can't watch the other episodes?
A: New episodes will come on-line every two weeks (replacing the previous episode). I'm following a broadcast model to some degree - encouraging people to 'tune in' every couple of weeks. There are also issues of bandwidth and cost which prevent me from having all the episodes up at once.

Q: Is there any kind of official press release about this?
A: Why yes there is... you can read it here.

Q: Are you making money off of this?
A: No, but I'll probably end up losing quite a bit. This is an 'ad free' site, though I would welcome sponsorship to host the site - as that is a cost which might become prohibitive if traffic gets too high.

Q: Do you work on anything else?
A: I do design work to 'pay the bills' (my design site is design.ravi.nu). Info on my other art projects can be found at www.ravi.nu
