You will need to be able to open Apple's QuickTime formats. I never had luck with the Apple download on
ANY Windows based platform, 95 or 98, and it would vex me to no end because it was always suggested to get the premium version (sounds like REAL)? I cannot recall which one of the things I Googled I actually installed, but it worked then. How exciting...super slow mo of a peacock to see the frame sequence wears thin. The color footage of the Fred Astaire special you eventually see somewhere down the line if you follow it around ain't bad but it's TOO BRIEF. It's nostalgic eye candy...go for the rest of the stuff and then head over to
Ed Reitan's site or even the Omnibus sites
Farewell Analog or even better
Jeff Miller's History of American Broadcasting Omnibus links . It wont get everything under the stars, but these will get almost anywhere you might hope go in your research of radio and television.
Remember, I also avoid Real like a disease, but the Europeans love it like there's no rhyme or reason as do other sites worldwide, yet I haven't found any multi-system AV browser that will play it and is FREE. UltraPlayer 2.112 ain't it. Not for .rm, .ram--nada. And you can't just archive version 8 and watch old stuff, no sir...you can't shut the update message off at all. 'Sides it's KRAP. All the content providers you can email either don't respond to your questions about MS or other players, or chime back that you are a bloody Bill Gates-loving BASTARD (so I ignore their sites).
Anyway the stuff about the TV station he visited IS pretty interesting...
