NMC: Real Player Download

[sr ferenczy]

Sorry for the lack of specific G4 content, but i found the following 
quite amusing!

http://www.cartalk.com/content/features/real/   -----> all the details

Apparently the web-based listeners of Car Talk (everybody knows Click 
and Clack, the Tappet Bros, dont they??)
were really complaining about the problems with Real Player, i usually 
listen on NPR, so i missed out. So anyway, the brothers switched to 
WMP, and Real crawled back asking them what was going on.... long story 
short, the HORRIBLE website at Real (and hidden free download) pissed 
people off, and Ray and Tom listened, and switched.

So what did Real do? made a very empty download page with no pop ups, 
just for Car Talk!
