More difficult?  I've installed Crossover (thanks Tim) and honestly found
it to be alot more 'smoke & mirrors' than the MPlayer method that i
documented.  More importantly, Crossover just plain doesn't work on my
box.  It crashes Mozilla instantly.

And yea, it costs nothing.  I'd be really really pissed if i had paid for
Crossover only to find out that it didn't work out of the box.
