Quicktime and the Snow Leopard

[Richmond Mathewson]

I know that RR's expertise is not in the "QT territory"; but I  still cannot
helpthinking that beyond dependence on operating systems (well . . . Google

Runtime Revolution "Doors 95" . . . ) that it would behoove them to be less
rather
than more dependent on external software.
