Dont't Shoot the Messenger! [Re: 1 too many files]

I actually think there are some apologies due to Andrew Cox. It is
not his fault that complainants are unable to (1) download the
Citidas files or (2) play them.
As pointed out in my earlier note on this subject it is in fact
simple to do both - I won't repeat myself.
But what concerns me most is (a) the tone of the "please desist"
instruction and (b)the griping which indicates this is somehow Andrew
Cox's fault. He quite rightly has said he won't be bothered posting
any more files.
I have rarely seen this sort of things on other groups and it is
regretable here. If it keeps up no one will post anything and then
where will we be.
May I suggest that keeping our software up to date (and our knowledge
of it) is our own personal responsibility, NOT (except for viruses)
the posters!
Don't shoot the messenger!

Well Fine!

I have deleted the files off your group and for those who want

the files go to

http://members.optushome.com.au/tramways/files/

If you have a Mac and want to view the files go to

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/download/default.asp

and you can download the windows media player for Mac.

This is the only video capture and editing software that I have

so if it is no good I will no longer

supply any files to your group.

Andrew:

Sorry, but I am unable to open any of these promo clips from

either Netscape

Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. And I have a very

advanced

iMac. Not even QuickTime would work. I'm sure many of the

group members

are in the same position I'm in.

Until you can explain how to do it, please refrain from

uploading any more.

Thanks,
