- This made me curious, so I copied a movie over to the file server. It
- played fine. So I inserted it into a WordPerfect document. It played fine.
- I then copied the document to a new folder on the server, thinking this
- would surely mess up the path to the movie. Nope, it still played. I
- then left the movie on the server and copied the document to my hard
- drive. The movie still plays. And so on.

- Where's the problem?

- Wouldn't it be a little more sensible to say, you can't use Wild Magic,
- or whatever it is that gives you trouble, than to make a blanket statement
- about all uses of QuickTime?
