I'm installing RealOne since Real seems to have inforced the new player.

I downloaded the installer. Finally got the installer to download after 3 tries. The first try i got nothing at all. The second try i got some real downloader window. And then the third try I got the IE downloader to download.

Now i was installing the app, but the window is not standard UI for 2K but seems to be one designed for XP. I tried dragging the windo around and the window was stuttering!!!!!

FUCK!!! The damn thing created errors right at the end of the install process!!!!

Fucker!!!!

At least my system performance is back to normal. While the installer was running my keyboard responce went down.

What the fuck!!!

I usually install a ton of stuff on this Win2k Dual 866 PC.

booh!!!!

well RealOne works kinda even though the install really didn't finish, BUT!!!!, after watching the default intro to how great real is and how it will enrich my life it decides i'm not worth it and crashes on me.

:(

You see people, when it comes down to it, Msoft and Apple can make a great OS but it takes some stupid jack ass company to, a large one at that, to fuck the experience up.

stupid jack ass fuckers!!!

:mad:

I like to think that in a perfect world, nothing worth watching is only available in Real format. That helps a lot.

I have to concur.  The only reason I've installed RP on any machine was to listen to MLB games while at work.

RealOne looks prettier than the old real players, but they figured out ways to make it more annoying. I have to hand it to Real though, I didn't think it was possible to make their product any more annoying, but somehow, they found a way.

Real is not allowed on any machine I have even a margin of control over.

ROFL!

It's funny because it's true.

Sadly, a lot of web content I'm interested in (like the Wing Commander animated series and Robotech episodes) is in Real format.  So I just have to grin and bear it.

If i was given the choice to see any two women of my choosing doing a full-length lesbian porno video, but I had to use Real to watch it. I'd...I'd...well...

...I'd download it and watch it, then convert it to another format and uninstall Real.

Hey, I may be a perv, but I'm not stupid! :)

Xspung is a very smart and devious man.

Can .rm files be converted into something legitimately useful?  I haven't done a search because I haven't had any .rm files worth converting. ;)

Truthfully, I'm not sure if there's a way to convert .rm files.

But porn is dispensible anyway and, besides, I stick to sites that use WMP or QT. ;) :D

Anything by Real, along with AOL, defines its own software category: shitware.

I think that bug may be getting ready to come back. The 'thread move' one that lead to the horrid pruning.
