Quoting user nyx from the last time this was posted. >To fix the broken timestamp in the upper right, open your JS console and set timeZone.diff equal to your negative UTC offset. I'm in US Pacific Time, so I ran timeZone.diff = 8

I really, really do apologize for not fixing this yet.

The OS desktop-y simulation is a nice idea, but it makes the site unusable on mobile. Even the video player seems unnecessarily complicated. So unless you have a full screen available to you all day, you're gonna miss out on a lot.

I don't think this is intended to be used on mobile. From their intro/disclaimer: a multimedia experiment for teachers, with the purpose of helping their students truly understand and absorb the events of September 11, 2001.

Also, there were no smartphones on 9/11/2001, it helps with immersion :)

FWIW it works fine for me on mobile. The default layout is odd but it's possible to move and resize every window.

I wish it wasn't MacOS 9 - A far more relevant UI for this would have been 9x or 2000. And a lot easier to use, too.
