The RealMark of the Beast

Well, it's happened.

I've installed Real Player again after avoiding it like the armageddon for the past year and a half. I can already hear my computer crying about having its will broken by the software program... Real Player does what it wants no matter what you tell it. Want WinAmp to keep control of mp3's? TOO BAD, REAL IS RUNNING THE SHOW NOW!

To cap it off, the introductory audio clip tells you, "YOU'RE IN CONTROL of the most powerful media player..."

And you have to ask yourself... If it's so powerful, why does it let a fragile user like me control it? The answer: IT LIES TO YOU. This is the true sign of power.
