- TidBITS doesn't seem to have anything about QuickTime in balloons.
- Leonard R.'s movie-for-a-finder-icon hack is mentioned (hey, Leonard,
- want to upload that somewhere?) but that's it.

- You couldn't use the interface anyway, without seriously distorting the
- balloon help UI. Would continuously-looping balloon movies really be
- that informative?
