[DM-MUG] Is Flip 4 Mac a cruel joke?

[Jeff Muller]

In order to look at KCCI's live radar, I decided to give Flip 4 Mac another shot. My last attempt had been nearly a year ago. But the same thing happened: it wouldn't load "download.microsoft.com". This was in Safari but Firefox is even worse as going to KCCI's site displays the front page for a couple of seconds, then goes blank because it's "waiting for www.google-analytics.com" to load. It never does nor does returning to the front page again; just the same routine.

I use VLC for those dumb little .wmv files that friends occasionally send me but I'd really like to check out some of the live things that depend on microsoft's stuff, like KCCI's live radar. But I can't seem to get past these roadblocks. Any ideas, anyone, other than just giving up (my only other current option)?

Thanks,
Jeff
