Indeed... I hate to complain, I'm so happy they remembered us! (But
it *was* sorta dorky to do that to our home directory listings.

Tell us how badly it breaks it to chop off the file name in the binary 8-).

Does anyone know what processor/clock combo it takes to run
3.0 RealAudio? I was insulted immediately when it said I didn't
have enough processor power to play the "welcome.ra" file 8-( .
I'm getting pretty dismal audio from their web site, rolling off
about 3 khz, it appears on a 486/33 with 16 megs of ram.
