   Review - Zoom Player Standard

   3.10 RC2 (Jun 10, 2003)

   Great media player.... I've been using it for about 2 months now, mostly for mp3's. My only suggestion would be to add to the "Control Bar" a way to toggle the "Play List Editor" dialog.

   Review - Mozilla for Windows

   1.0 RC1 (Apr 19, 2002)

   Must better product than any other version of Netscape ( or its variants) IMHO. Seems to handle user profiles like it should in Windows and renders pages nicely.
   
   nsreg.dat still gets put in the windows folder *sigh* though users only need read access to it.
   
   Mozilla has a rather large memory footprint, 16-23mb in the quicklaunch state (in taskbar, no page loaded).
   
   I experienced problems with plugins. with one plugin, the browser crashed. With shockwave the browser still reports i need the plugin even after its installed.
   
   If you're anti-MS, a must d/l, if not I see no compeling reason to switch from IE.

   I HAVE to make another post, this is great...
   
   Tell your MAC users to do this to get protection with the "builtin" firewall. No problem...
   
   su to root, read the man page and run a few ipfw adds. Don't forget to flush before you begin. Before I begin? Don't you flush when your done? No No, you are thinking about something else.
   # ipfw list
   # ipfw -f flush
   # ipfw add ...
   # ipfw add 100 deny up from any to any 80 in recv ppp0
   # ipfw add 65535 allow ip from any to any
   # ipfw add bla bla bla a few more times.
   
   Do a minimum of a 1/2 doz rules for a secure MAC and your done... easy as can be.
   
   But make sure you don't miss anything because the default rule is to allow everything. "The flush command removes all previously entered rules except for the default rule that allows everything"
   
   You aren't confused are you?

   As for the firewall that comes with the MAC, I find no reference to in MAC help. I also find no info on the MAC support page. Oh, here.... I found a reference to it at www.free-firewall.org, "Any BSD guru can configure it but most of us Mac people have no clue!".
   
   So lets make it clear, BSD makes a great firewall.
   
   lol

   Actually the firewall in XP is designed to protect Incoming connections, perhaps you are confused? As far as its quality, I find no references to vulnerabilities when I searched google.

   On a high note, you get a new calculator for $129.00.

   You've never gotten a very good deal on software for your organization have you? I'm not paying anywhere near $200 for an OS or for an office suite for that matter.
   
   Explain to me how if it costs $200 for me to buy an OS off the shelf (1 computer) and it costs less than $25/seat (20,000 computers) for an enterprise how that is linear?
   
   BTW, I have no problem with you agreeing with fewt ;-), get over it.
