Someone want to tell me just how the fuck a Web page can
launch an MS-DOS prompt on my machine without my permission?
I looked through the source code, and they have some really
bizzare Mac versus IE4, IE5, and Navigator discriminator code.
The video links are attached to .asx files. The .asx file contains
the following:

Assuming mms is the protocol for Microsoft's streaming video, I launch IE5
and attempt to view the stuff. I get a OleMainThreadWndName system error.
I can only assume that those brilliant Windows programmers haven't figured
out re-entrant libraries yet.

I guess I'll have to go get my free Microsoft Video at Blockbuster.
Good thing, as they put all their used N64 games on the discount rack
for $9.99.
