Crap! You have to use Macromedia's crapware to view them. God knows what
it's doing in background while you're watching the pretty pictures.

I was reading a NY Times news article the last time I had Macromedia's
crapware installed. There was a flash movie playing a spam that bothered
me reading, so I right clicked on it and a popup window asked me if I
minded the New York Times turning on my WEBCAM AND MICROPHONE SO THEY COULD
WATCH INSIDE MY HOUSE!

I spent another hour cleaning the crap off my machine. All of you should,
too.

Youtube can post mpg files....but then they wouldn't get the "Payload"
installed on your system.

Why? Did they think you were doing anything exciting?

Umm, I don't keep my computer in the bathroom...

I know what you meen though. It takes regular pruning to
keep all the garbage-ware from hopelessly cluttering ip your
computer, and WinDOZ doesn't help. For my next machine, I'm
going back to a Mac.

I've been running OS X for 3 years now. The only time I use the Windoze
box is to play with Hulls or deal with the braindead intranet web site
at work.

Been working and playing with both since the 80s and refuse to work at
home, so am on a Mac.

The new iMacs are *sweet*! Just got one sorta on a whim, since my 5-year
old G4 was still working just fine and was donated to a poor friend that
had suffered 3 catastrophic failures in as many months. He's in ecstasy:
Finally a machine that actually works.

I, on the other hand, have never been blown away like this. The iMac is
actually 5 times faster than my nearly-new Windoze development box, as
measured by Seti@Home. At the moment, most of the top 50 or so
individual computers in their ranking are Macs.

It's easy to spot the Mac owners at a computer show. They're the ones
saying, "Will that neat program ever come out for the Mac?"...

Only if you're at home playing games, not out sailing. ;-)

Almost every program is either compiled for both platforms or I found a
functional (usually *more* functional) equivalent.

And didn't you hear? Since the switch to Intel, they do Windows, too.
(and less expensively, to boot.)
