QuickTime 7

Speaking of quality…

What can I say, I like to sit in front of my computer and…hold my member.

Oh, I know it’s been proven to cause warts, to make you go blind, it’s just
that it feels SO DAMN GOOD!

To tell you the truth, I’m not into porn. I CALL it porn, but it’s not the
XXX boob-implanted stuff made in the San Fernando Valley. No, what gets me off is…regular people. Doing it.

I’ve got Zip disks full of this stuff. When I’m in the mood, and the mood
always seems to come after physical exertion, somehow the endorphins cloud out
everything else in my brain, I insert a disk…and have my way with myself.

To tell you the truth, mental fantasies are better than visual reality, so
usually I just employ the pictures to set up the conclusion. In order to come
to fruition, most times I must close my eyes, and put in place somebody I know
from real life. But, I find the pictures titillating, so I watch them, to get
me started.

Now my computer runs perfectly. Both of my Macs. There’s not a SINGLE THING wrong with them. And I like to keep it this way. So, I’m ALWAYS anxious about upgrades. Maybe it’s just that I remember the old days, when an upgrade meant losing a day, or maybe even a week, what with all the havoc it wreaked on your system. To tell you the truth, I haven’t had a problem ever in OS X, but still, the potential consequences are lodged in my brain like the memory of a bad relationship, so I’m always trepidatious before an installation.

Actually, I’m gonna let you in on a secret. Before and AFTER every
installation of software on a Mac you should repair permissions. It’s easy, go into
Applications, launch Disk Utility, click on your hard drive and then click on
"Repair Permissions". Hell, if ANYTHING is ever wrong with your Mac, just
repair permissions, it seems to always fix the problem. But I have no problems, I
employ permission repair prophylactically.

Now, not having had a problem with an OS X installation, the time frame
within which I download upgrades has shrunk. And, after a week went by, and I had only read a few bad reports on Macfixit.com, where the people seem to always have problems because they’ve hot-rodded their systems or are completely ignorant, I got itching to download QuickTime 7. You see, I’d viewed the demonstrations. I’d heard Jobs’ hype. I didn’t want to be left out. So, last weekend, I went for it.

And my mind was fucking blown.

What can I tell you, I saw stretchmarks that were invisible previously?? I
blew the movies up to full screen, and I lost NO RESOLUTION! It was like
watching HDTV. It was as if I’d swallowed a Viagra pill, the effects were
spectacular, and IMMEDIATE!

Maybe you read Cringely’s post
(http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050505.html). Maybe you know what I’m talking about. But in case you don’t, let me tell you we’re on the verge of an EXPLOSION in computer video. Movies via your computer, the infrastructure is HERE!

Maybe first only on a Mac, but as the iTunes example has demonstrated, Steve
no longer leaves the Windows people out, he brings them aboard eventually.

As a matter of fact, QuickTime 7 hasn’t been released yet for Windows. They
say it’s imminent. So, if you’re a PC user, once again, hate to tell you,
you’re a couple of years and a couple of changes behind us, as Jackson would say.

But if you’re on a Mac, go to Software Update and INSTALL this puppy (after
repairing permissions!)

And, after you do, go to the following URL for a demonstration.

It might not get you to climax, but it will show you the POSSIBILITIES!

    Bob, OSX Tiger is Amazing! It made my system run even faster than when I had Panther. When i installed it, it was nice having to only put in 1 disc (which is a dvd) and after about 40 minutes it was done. I got the quicktime Pro serial number off the net which means i can encode movies using the h.264 codec. Have you streamed any of the h.264 movie trailers, they are amazing.

    Add me to the "switch" column. I got my powerbook about 3 months ago and it’s amazing how rock solid it is. i had to have a repair made so i sent it in and used a loaner windows computer, which hung/froze/crashed a few times a day. think of the lost productivity!
