Lamex Desktop - getting nowhere fast

Subject: Lamex Desktop - getting nowhere fast

The other day, I came across this neat little web site.

http://www.mysynergysports.com/

The idea is that paid members can watch video clips of any play of past NBA games. It is useful not just to scouts and coaches, but to NBA fans trying to catch up on games they missed.

The site won't work on Lamex, because it needs a browser with a Windows Media Player plugin. It utilizes some kind of copy-protection technology.

It seems to me this is the future of all 'content' on Internet. Things will be locked up behind DRM gates, and Lamex users are going to be completely shut out. Hardcore Lamex users are known to be masochists, and may not mind the 'sacrifices' needed to continue to run the Lame operating system, but this is a big disadvantage for the general public.

Just another reason why Lamex is doomed to be the toy of a tiny percentage of people.

Switch to Windows now, before it is too late.
