"Any idea what file types are giving you trouble (.avi, .mpg, .wmv, .asf?) they all run fine on my Mac." - techweenie -

Not true! Unless some ".asf" file types are converted to ".wmv", they won't run on a
Mac, especially using Quicktime (OS X or earlier).

Furthermore:

"PC's are NOT cheaper than Macs. At best the cost is comparable for models of similar performance/configuration. " - techweenie -

Which imlpies that the typical consumer is naive, and it's because of their ignorance
that the PCs sell 10:1 over Macs. If they are equal, how has Apple failed in its' marketing?

"PCs have come a long way -- now they're only about 3 years and 100,000 viruses short of being Mac-like."
- techweenie -

It's not the OS that's less vunerable, it's the potential effect, i.e. >10X the number of machines.

Avoid making generalized incorrect statements!
