    Month of apple bugs over in one Bug? They had to go to an application already? Also, who would have known, an application writer that makes a mistake on one platform might make that same mistake on another.

    See, the point of switching back to Mac from Linux for recreational desktop use is that I just click on files and they play. If I wanted abuse for not being familiar with some media player minutia, I'd still be in #mplayer trying to figure out what to install to view a WMV.
