Here is where to post about the latest Commander Keen fangame or modification you've finished, a new website you've made, or another Keen-related creation.
On Windows, QuickTime is a PAIN and no-one cares to learn anything about it.
Nonsense. QT was pretty much a necessity on the earlier Windows days for some games. Well, for a bunch of Sierra games, anyway. And Septerra Core. And a few other games like those. You get my point; QuickTime would usually be installed on us gamers' machines, even if it only were to be able to view the cinematics or hear the sounds in some games.
Um, I use Quicktime ALL THE TIME to open files to listen to them. It's a lot simpler than iTunes, as well as more minimalist. I don't need to wait for iTunes to start up when I can just pop Quicktime right up.

I'd frequently get pissed off at it taking all the ram and file associations and then bugging me to buy pro - it was on there for Shivers, but I didn't want it on there! I didn't say no-one installed it, just saying that I know many people who never really bothered with it
And THC, I stand corrected But you're hardly the typical computer user

This is what I was going to say, so I guess that I correct you again kuliwil.
Actually, I usually just listen to mp3s, MIDIs, and the like right in their folder, with some cool Finder feature. Don't know whether that's Quicktime-powered or just the Core Audio system process.
Kuliwil: yeah, okay, fair enough. But the file format is even mentioned in its configuration thing that it forces into the control panel and all that, and I'm sure a fair amount of people opened up that panel at least out of curiosity.

My Win2K machine has that from a patch of Windows Media Player...
