4.  Under the picture of Old Faithful, you should see View QTVR (500k).  Click right on the words.  This takes a bit of time.  Move your mouse over the picture that pops up.  Notice that the mouse turns into a little hand.  Hold the mouse down and you will be able to move the picture. This allows you to feel that you are in the middle of the Yellowstone geysers and are turning around to look at different part of the geyser field.
