:) Cool! Then, it must be useful ;-) When I have some time, and I fix my
harddrive, and I install Linux (and a "trial" version of Panther XXDD,
just wanna play around with it now that Mac OSX becomes a little bit
more useable with the cool "expose" thingie... how come they don't use
virtual desktops!!!!????!!!!!), I might check it out and see if I can
work out some stuff of the bloody RTC (I will look at the mplayer source
as well) and the mic/recording thing. Who knows, perhaps, I might
understand something!! :)
Thanks for the info, Michael
