Has the fact that the Olympics are streamed over Silverlight in the US prevented you from watching them on your computer?



No, Silverlight was not a roadblock. The videos worked fine.

Yes. I tried to use it but had problems.

Yes, because I refuse to install the M$ plugin

Yes, because I am on a platform for which there is no Silverlight extension.

Do you realize a G4 or G5 Mac is now over five years old? Wow you have got a lot of use out of it, considering Apple hasn't made an Intel Mac in years.. Wonder how you guys will feel with snow leopard (the next version) being intel only... Many 3rd party software companies are starting to abandon powerpc. Doesn't Silverlight also have certain processor speed/power requirements for HD video that make it not possible on the G4??
