    These ads are in Real Media format.

    That really pisses me off. Why do videos have to be saved in Real Media format? What's wrong with MPEG? Perhaps I don't want to install RealPlayer on my system?

    I know it might make sense if you're encoding and streaming, but think of your public. I won't let RealPlayer anywhere near my Win32 system (hey, I'm at work... :-P) because it screws up all the file associations...
