When you say it can run Quicktime, can you elaborate on that? Did you need to bring in the special codecs? Will it play any Quicktime (such as the multitude of movie trailers available online)? TO the best of my understanding, the Sorrenson codecs neccesary to play most Quicktime movies have not been licencesed to anyone but Apple, and thus will only work using Apple's official Quicktime player, which doesn't have a native Linux version. There is the Codeweavers crossover plugin, which will allow you to play Quicktimes under Linux, but that plugin is not free. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
