Why no dvd/hdd player for rm(vb) files?

murphyslaw — Fri, 11 May 2007 23:51:45 +0800

Strange there are so much hardware support for avi/divx, mp3, dvd, etc. but none for realmedia files, from dvd players or hdd players.

Is it license issue or technical difficulty?

Service center vs Outside mechanic

I don't seem to trust service centers. Everything done behind closed doors, charge this and that, and problems not solved despite waiting and resending.

Advantage of outside mechanics :-
1) customers can see mechanic at work and parts removed/replaced
2) cheaper service charge
3) got more options for oem, local/import parts, originals ie. cheaper

What you think? Keep sending back to service center?

What cool SCREENSAVER you using?

I used to remember during those old windows days, there was one nice package called AFTERDARK, which has lots of cool and fun screensavers .... are there any like that these days?

Till now, I still can't find the nice arowana fish saver, which i saw once in Hkg. That sure beats the aquarium version for a change. Will be nice to have pirahnas and sharks, which we can feed once a while !!
