I'm glad they did put it in RealPlayer format - how many people have an 
Ogg Vorbis player and why should they half to download yet another 
program for multimedia. There is already Windows Media Player, 
Quicktime, Realplayer, Flash, Java, etc.

[...] You will need RealPlayer installed on your computer for
this to work.
The irony is delicious. (-:


In the draft of the bill that I sent to Rep. Barnhart, there was a 
clause that would have required the State to use open-standard 
formats in all public documents available for electronic download 
-- which would probably require them, in the future, to make 
these things available in Ogg.  Unfortunately, that was removed 
before the bill was sent to Legislative Counsel for its final 
draft.
