No Real On This Computer

With my new motherboard and configuration, this computer is doing just fine, thanks. There is one thing I realized a few days ago, and was reminded of this morning. I don’t have the Real player installed.

Sorry Real – I’m not sure you’re necessary anymore.

Back when Real was the only game in town, they made their video/audio player a huge pain in the ass. Though there was a free player, it was difficult to find. Once you installed the player, you got unwanted pieces and shortcuts scattered about.

Real has changed their ways, I hear. Maybe so. But, right now, with no necessity to install it, I’m going to stand my ground and remember the good old days.

Unfortunately for them, life changes when you’re no longer the only game in town.
