Got an email with a wmv titled...
"How it will feel if Hilary is elected president"

I've got the feeling it's not complimentary and I want to send a nasty response, but I use Mac and have never figured how to show wmv files on my 'puter.

Two questions: Anybody seen that video file... what's the general script?

Anybody know how I can download something to translate wmv files into Mac 10.4.11 ?

1. I've got Mac 10.4.11 -- I THINK I've been able to open wmv files -- saving
to my desktop? I really don't recall, so don't know why I bothered to respond :eyes: except to say Hi to another Mac user! :hi:

2. No advice from me about playing a .wmv on a Mac
But isn't it odd how some allegedly tough, macho guys are threatened by the idea of a woman in the Oval Office (Secretary of Stinkeye excepted, of cuss)?

5. Download VLC
You can get it at http://www.videolan.org

It opens pretty much any video file, including WMV. But be sure to sanitize your Mac after viewing that RW "humor." :)

6. Thanks for the tip... downloaded and viewed..
the Hilary hit piece. Shopping in YouTube now for an answering clip. Only problem is, I can't find one showing one mean enough. I need one of Dumbya screwing Uncle Sam... or our troops... or the middle class... or the poor.... or the economy... or the Iraqis.... or.....
