a desultory phillipic

Not that I agree with the MS control of the world, but I do object to the online "community* artworks that require file formats be in the Quicktime Video and Quicktime Mpeg file format.
This is as bad or worse than Bill Gates reqs' and frankly I am getting a littile pissed at Mac users who can't figure out how to deal with the file formats that 95% of the world works with.
PAM and the new site by T Whid use proprietary software reqs that any experienced user (including me on a Zaurus 5500 ) get a little pissed off at.
If you guys want to send money to Steve Jobs, then just send him money, and don't make like its an honorable thing, and try to make me by his products.
My little *nix box and my PC can't make your file formats, so get lost with your requirements, and admit your just overfed Americans on Macs with money to blow.
