No no no no. She’s doing the Hookey Pookey. Or the Hoochie Coochie. Something like that. It’s, uh, part of that new Riverdance thing they are about to come out with I think. Tard of the Dance maybe. Flubber Dance?
The new Real One player is garbage, and has a tendancy to screw up computers. When my latest computer was only a week old, I put it on, and started crashing twice a day, even I fired it up and used it at all. Didn’t have to be open, but just used. Errors. Crashes. Buggy. Error messages claimed that the vid card was bad, bad drivers, bad sound card, etc…
But when I uninstalled and did a rollback to befor I put it on, the problems all went away.
I put an old version on so I could play when RAM and RM files I had, and I’ve gotten by just fine. I hear there is a Jet Player that will play real media files too, and it supposidly is fine.
I’ve had virii that caused a lot less problem than Real One. It’s like Real Networks contracted out thier programing to AOL or something.
Don’t know that much about the spyware issues, other than what I’ve heard, but I know first hand about the stability issues. They sucked. This was a year ago, but I hear it’s still pretty bad.
As I said, I’m now using an older version, befor they improved it so much.
Let’s see. Netscape would crash. Unreal would crash. Quicktime and Flash stuff was unstable. I’m not talking about just the app, the whole system. I updated the video driver, which appeared to be the problem, at least at first, and then I started reading problems other people had. So I dumped it and did a rollback to befor I installed Real One.
