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

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