Sorry you IBM folks have so many problems playing DVDs. My Mac

For most of us,if a seminar was on cd we could watch if it was in ".mpg"
format. This format will play on the Windows Media Player already installed
with Windows. This is different than dvd and nothing extra to buy or
install.

Salutations:
Actually, the point I was making was that dirty power is hard on lap-top batteries if you leave them on plugged in after they are 100% charge.. (which, if I understand my contacts correctly - is the heart of the pwob) ..
Regarding MAC's, actually - the whole new machine is an almost a perfect multi-media machine and was designed as such. If all I were doing was playing vids and surfing, I'd be looking there myself.. Tell me, how many hours exactly can you get out of a battery running DVD CD on Mac Port-a-puppy?

Hey Al. If the MAC is so good why do they spend money on a program and
styling to make it look like a PC. :0 Gene told me to send

I'll answer this one. The program Al mentioned Virtual PC allows one
to run all Windows 95, 98 and 2000 programs on a Mac. What software
is available to run all Mac programs on a PC? I use a Power PC Mac
G3 but I also use a HP notebook with Windows.

You ask "what software is available to run all Mac programs
on a PC."
I would ask Who would you sell the software to? you would
need to find PC owners that want to run Mac software.

Alan - I am going to drop this thread because it serves no purpose.
I will only say that you are right. Those people and business that
want to do all the things that Mac software will do don't even try to
use their PCs for those purposes -- they just buy a Mac.

Gotta concur. Nothing like a good ole MAC G3 PowerBook to run DVDs, CDs,
websites, email, GPS, engine analyzer, multimeter readings records, Street
Atlas . . . (and as was said in the "King and I") etcetera, etcerera,
etcetera. Plug it in; Power it up; Play it. A capable tool in a
roadwarrior's kit.

At least one 2 1/2+ hour movie's worth. More if you properly configure
the operating system by stepping down the processor speed in the Energy
Saver control panel. Apple says "you can watch a DVD feature movie (namely,
Austin Powers) twice on a single battery's power." Can, not would want to.
Even more with a new PowerBook (Bronze). About another half hour.

At least one 2 1/2+ hour movie's worth. More if you properly configure
the operating system by stepping down the processor speed in the Energy
Saver control panel. Apple says "you can watch a DVD feature movie (namely,
Austin Powers) twice on a single battery's power." Can, not would want to.
Even more with a new PowerBook (Bronze). About another half hour.
