- Well - I can play quick-times on my Amiga, and I can use TCP/IP
- with no problem.. I just install the appropriate software... What happens
- if I remove "SimplePlayer" and the QuickTime Extension from the Mac? I
- suddenly can't play QuickTime... And, to the last of my recollection, TCP/IP
- wasn't standard - it's an option.
-
- I've never been too impressed with QuickTimes - too small and
- silly looking - cute, but little more than an amusement.
