[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 206928, member: 114"] If you want a WMA plugin I suggest you complain to Microsoft as they own the codecs and AFAIK they are not in the public domain so legally noone else can actually provide plugins except them. If you are developing web pages I strongly suggest avoiding Microsoft filetypes like the plague and instead use open source standards. As to your copy/paste problems I've never encountered any problems like that with any of my Macs so maybe it is an issue with the Intel and/or non-universal apps support. Oh and as Rosetta uses RAM to store portions of the converted code the more RAM you have the better non-universal apps will run (at least in theory, the lack of altivec in the Intel chips will seriously impact any video/image processing powerpc apps regqrdless of how much RAM you have). You could always buy a quad-G5 I suppose. ;) Amen-Moses [/QUOTE]
