Just thought some of you might find this funny so here is a link.
It's pretty damn stupid but funny at the same time :)

I couldn't launch this--but then it could be "user error" -- I am still trying to learn the new-fangled gadgets on PF myself...

Owwiiieee...

I couldn't launch this

Yeah... I got the sound, but no video. (That would be disastrous for a porn site.)

Well, I patiently waited for all 14.4 Mb to download on my dial-up connection. Hee hee...it was worth it!

I couldn't launch this

I don't even know what the hell I was trying to launch it with. There was no name on it. I wasn't Quicktime or Media Player or Realtime... what else is there?

It was Quicktime. Maybe it's not compatible with older versions? It's a HUGE file (for me to download on dial-up anyway), so you might have just run out of memory for it.

Oh, but that is weird. I've got QT on here and that's not what came up on my screen, unless it's some kind of subroutine that doesn't announce itself. As for the file, it took 2 or 3 minutes to load, but it was only 14.? meg. It was all in there, just the picture part wouldn't come back out. I couldn't quite figure out why it was so slow loading though. My progress bar said it was only coming in at 160 kb/sec.
