A RealPlayer meta-file. You need RealPlayer to view it. RealPlayer is a really, really horrible chunk of code so I wouldn’t recommend infecting your computer with it just to see this. ---

Realplayer works well, if you strip it out properly. Mine is completely non-intrusive now! ---

Mine is completely non-intrusive now! \*\* That’s odd… I have realplayer installed to view some of the southpark episodes I’ve got and some of the futurama I don’t, but it doesn’t recognise this. Maybe I stripped out something I shouldn’t have when I was installing it. ---

Nope never mind. Once I told mozilla to use realplay.exe to open it all was well. It’s black with the occasional truck going outside the window. Interesting… ---
