Just wanted to point out that Microsoft no longer supports wmv on the Mac (at least not directly). The "official" way to play wmv files is to download the Quicktime plugin from Flip4Mac at <http:// www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm> . I also agree that VLC is good to have around for anything that doesn't seem to want to play anywhere else. -Mike
