Does this site make your floppy do stuff?

That's why. The page is attempting to load an image called "colwarmsup.jpg" from a floppy disk. A suprisingly common error by website authors. :)

EDIT: Highlighted important part of quote and added in-depth explanation.

I wonder what would happen if you added <a href="file:///D:/autorun.inf "> or <a href="file:///D:/setup.exe "> to the coding and the visitor had a CD in their drive?

I for one would be annoyed, view source and send a letter to the webmaster telling them to cut that sh!t out. I abhor sites that do anything to my computer without specifically asking me (know I'm not a paranoid anti-cookie freak just music and all that crap...)
