- Greetings. Today, I received in the mail a postcard
- telling me about the "WONDERS" (tm) of Quicktime.
- Anyways, here's roughly what it had to say:

- _Canyon Action!_ can be installed and played right
- out of the box.

-
- So, is it worth it? Shall we all plunge forth and
- compare Quicktime to AVI on our PC's?
-
- Also, I wonder if we can make Quicktime animations?
- Anybody want to find out? If so, this is a cheaper
- alternative than Microsoft's $139 CD-ROM with the
- AVI CODEC.
-
- Oh, and the standard disclaimer applies.
- (about me not being affiliated with,
- or sleeping with the enemy, blah, blah, blah. . .)
