So apparently, WMP knows it is asf too, but doesn't bother to tell you, it just goes ahead and deals with it. I consider that to be kinda insulting to the users. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain! The Great and Powerful Microsoft commands it!"

Of course, I know this. But I think it is stupid that Windows people would rename an asf file to a wmv file. Why couldn't the movie just been delivered as an asf file? Oh yeah, because IE deals with asf as a stream, and downloading an asf stream is useless by design. This is, in my opinion, poor design.

I don't know if that was the real monkeyboy or not, but that wasn't windows 1.0. Windows 1.0 was black and white. I know because I had it.

Maybe that's because your monitor was black and white.

Post by: bedouin on 18 September 2004, 07:47: Hmm, actually after looking at that picture I realized it was using CGA. Guess you had a hercules card.

Interesting.
