My BRAND NEW computer is totally MS-free (thank the powers that be) and I am soooo happy about that that I could just tinkle on myself!
Leave the Dark Side and its fell Media Player. Get thyself QuickTime.
BTW - I can do WMV files. But this MIME type will not even tell me what it is. And I have never, since 1995, had a virus that affected my system. I have gotten over 20 macro viruses in e-mail attachments from Windows/Intel-using friends that did nothing to my Mac. But the little buggers were kind enough to send copies of themselves to my address book lists.
BTW (again) - I think that the older Mac OS was harder to write for. I am afraid that I will get a nasty virus with OS X. I have read that OS X (a FreeBSD *NIX flavor) has much better built-in protections, but that UNIX is a little easier to mess with as it is so much more common. The Mac has always been a little more secure and a lot less common, so it is less interesting to most "script kiddies".
Oh well.
How ya been, Rick?
