[BNM] Flash FLV movie not working remotely...

[paul perrin]

Bl*ddy Apple... just wasted hours checking whether I had picked up some
malware, 'cos MSIE on my main PC had a virtually anonymous extra button on
the tool bar...

Bl*ddy Apple... I should have known that something as simple as a browser
(safari) shouldn't have needed a reboot to install (unless it was messing up
the rest of my PC at the same time)...

Bl*ddy Apple... When I install their browser, what make them think I want
them to mess with my other browsers?

Bl*ddy Apple... When I uninstall safari, it better take all its other cr*p
with it...

'Bonjour' from Bl*ddy Apple - a link to their website -- yes that is a
really useful toolbar button, how can anyone get by without it...

I must remember to treat Apple products like all other suspect software -
put them on a Virtual PC and delete after use...

ps. Yes I know there was probably something burried in the T&C's about it -
but you know, I kind of trusted Apple. I won't make that mistake again.
