Re: RNWK

Thanks for the review, John. I agree that Real Media is pretty darn close to being the standard as far as streaming audio/video goes. Couple of points:

1.) Competition: it is very easy for a web site to throw some software onto a server and start streaming other formats (like Windoze Media player). And with consumers getting Media Player pre-installed on their OS, this could lead to another Netscape situation.

2.) Money: how are these guys planning on making money? I personally don't know anyone who has bought Real Audio G2 Plus, or whatever the current version is. And, quite frankly, if I did want it, I could go online and find a crack for it anyway.

Nonetheless, RNWK is on our watch list!
