[FRIAM] Apple - Get a Mac - Watch The TV Ads

[Owen Densmore]

Some folks have had difficulty getting the mac ads to appear on their  
systems due to the way the media is handled.  I've downloaded them to  
individual files here:

I've downloaded the movies and tried them with RealPlayer, VLC and  
MPlayer on my Mac, and they work fine, but presumably due to  
QuickTime codecs being installed.

Linux users: You might want to look at my son's site on desktop linux:
   http://linuxfortherestofus.com/
He's pointed out to me that the various distros are considerably  
different in terms of their default packages and in their media support.

Another really fine resource is Tux, the on-line Linux magazine.
   http://www.tuxmagazine.com/
They really are on their way to providing a good forum for desktop  
linux usage and do a good job of covering applications and utilities,  
including media.
