Saving the web page does not seem to reproduce the functionality ... is that to be expected?

The guitar does not make any sound in IE7 (at least on my machine) ... perhaps due to IE's lack of support for <canvas> ? I would have thought that Google would apply a shim ...

        Hello,

        Today's Google home page has an interactive guitar in honour
        of Les Paul. It makes sounds when you 'strum' the strings.

        I was wondering what technologies Google used to create this
        incredible element. It does not appear to be Flash ... does
        anyone know.

        Thank you and kind regards,

        Grant Bailey
