Eric, Maybe we missed the important features of AAPL's QuickTime. I quote some passages from Multimed Week on Feb 18 and We will see the potential power of QuickTime. 'Apple views QuickTime as a tool to promote development of titles that run on the Mac. "If QuickTime we're it's own separate company it would be a very hot IPO," said Rick Dougherty, principal of Envisioneering Group.' '"A lot of people are on that committee [ISO]," said David Britton, Microsoft group product manager for platform marketing. "[MPEG-4] is not going to be a QuickTime thing or an ASF [active streaming format] thing."' 'Historically, Apple has included QuickTime in the Macintosh OS. But executives are reevaluating it as a revenue source. Apple will make a professional QuickTime version available for $30 when the cross-platform version 3.0 ships, which is expected by month's end. Tools provider Media 100 Inc. [MEDA] has proclaimed the cross- platform version the foundation for its transition to Windows NT and if other tools makers do the same, Apple may see additional revenue. "Steve Jobs is talking to executives at the very highest levels to see how we're going to implement this," Bannerman said.' Best wishes James
