You know you are talking down to just about everybody these days right? Apple was just reported as the worlds most valuable company. http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/story/2012-08-20/apple-most-valuable-company/57161260/1(check the dates on that too. MS hasn't been at that valuation since 1999!!!) Welcome to life after MicroSoft.

Again... system option. And I agree about this one... annoying as hell. They switched it off by default in the latest OS version. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/403879/restore_windows_option.png What $0.99 video format converters do you know of that will give you > real professional quality results, because I couldn't find any. Video is one area in which you do not want to take this discussion :) 3D would be a better option... which honestly is even getting pretty good now. I only say this because we're posting this on.... the SOFTIMAGE list. Grrrrr. I also agree with Stefan. Until you educate yourself on the matter, it's probably best to steer clear of it as a whole.
