am i the only person on the planet that loves realplayer?

it's pioneered so much stuff and i've defeneded it's honor elsewhere in this forum but let me just ive a cool example.  i use it to listen to internet radio.  it has a built in "time-shifting" feature where if you pause it, it keeps downloading and then you can resume listening and not have missed anything, and skip through commercials, etc. i love it.

At the moment iTunes is winning and RealPlayer is coming in second. 

Damn, i think that only happens because people don't actually use QuickTime EVER!
I mean, where can you find any other player that you have to pay for to be able to play movies in full screen??

Well, QuickTime has passed Windows Media Player now! I suppose there are some people out there that have used it

For whatever reason, I have never been able to get real player to work properly on any system I have ever owned. Maybe it just hates dialup....or maybe it hates me (not as in winME  )

I've always had more problems with QuickTime than with RealPlayer. But they're tied now!

Ooooh~! It's a hot race for the crappiest media player on Earth~! 

It's all very well buying software that's going to be of good use, but what get's me going, no sooner have you purchased it and a new version comes out although you don't have to pay the full price you still have to pay part of it for an upgrade...(Raw Deal)....

What's the name of a really good media player?  What makes it so good?

Woh, I think I might add something to my faves. I started a blacklist during one phase of one of my former websites. A programmer actually e-mailed me to say that he had fixed the booger I shightlisted him for, so I took his prog off.

I learned to hack the registry within a month or two of having my own computer because of something that wasn't worth keeping that left a file association mucked up. I have had to delete files from DOS to get back into Windwoez after a cr@ppy uninstall. I know all the words. I use a choice few plus inarticulate screams.

Recently I rehabilitated an old machine that was very sick with "Norton flu" - it was so slow that you had to wait all day to make a shortcut on the desktop.

One of my biggest gripes in "bewareware" is bundled software.

Oh, and I have a thread in another forum entitled "Bad stupid idiotic moronic useless vain bloated gassy webpages" where I post links to anything that takes five minutes to load or can't be read without 20-20 vision and a wall-size monitor. And I hate Flash 

Dugg it and posted it to 3 blogs, one of which was my own personal one.

OMG! Shitware has to be the best laugh I've had in ages! Some of our most distinguished posters here post over there, too. No holds barred, potty talk. Love it. Zaine, I had no idea such imagery was possible - I'll never be able to read a techie review of a Macintosh product in quite the same way again...  tsaint and nudone also put in cameos. Shitware is the donationcoder forums UNRATED and UNCUT.

not sure if it's just me but i can't get the shitware forum to work - i wish the shit ethic wasn't such an all encompassing idea over there and the forum engine could be changed from something non-shit.

Yeah... NFS! (That's a censored short form...) The forum sometimes throws an exception, and it really pisses me off. I just don't have time to fix it. Grrr... 

In other words shitware.net is shitware
