- I haven't heard that story before (although I wouldn't put Apple past it).
- However, XAnim can play .MOV files just fine. The current beta versions
- are great, they'll play MPEG, QuickTime, MS .AVI, and several other formats
- with sound, and on all bit depth displays. Sorry, I don't know the URL for
- XAnim.

- Apple's latest scam, 'Apple Notebook Disks.' You pay $4 extra per box to
- get 3.5" floppies that are 'precision-crafted to Apple factory specifications.'
- Sigh.
