    I just realized that there are people young enough to never have had to deal with the horror known as realPLAYER…

    Just as I wrote the above sentence, I googled realplayer, IT STILL EXISTS!?!

    WHY?

      Yeah, the worst part was when there were plenty of better alternatives, yet people still insisted on generating content in RealMedia format.

        In one of my online courses last semester, the professor would give us a list of video and reading assignments each week, and one of them still used Flash. I had to tell him nobody uses that anymore, nor should they.

        I wonder if I still have that real player rip of DBZ on one of my hard drives somewhere. I think they were about 50MB an episode and looked and sounded accordingly.
