Ok, time to just call your bluff - you have no idea what the Media Browswer
is. It is *not* a single program... it is a system, a service provided to
all relevant programs which allows for accessing media *without* leaving the
program or having to even know where files are on the drive. Win 7's media
browser is designed to put your media (and public media) in one place -
Apple's Media Browser is designed to put your media at your fingertips in
whatever program you are in.

Completely different goals. Completely different ideas. And you, clearly,
had no idea.

And your comparison of Windows Media Browser with Apple's Automator was even
further off the mark. Absurdly so, really. You have no clue what you are
talking about and it shows.

Curious: are you from Colorado? In any case, Tofu is not about making the
screen bigger and the fact it allows resizing of text is not what makes it
different from what you are talking about. Gee, it also lets you use
different fonts and colors... are you going to babble about that next?

Nope. As noted, you have *no* idea what Automator is. Here:
<http://www.macosxautomation.com/automator/>

Not that I expect you to show any level of understanding. Yes, it is clear
you are acting ignorant just to get a reaction. :)

Ok "snit"! What exactly have you shown or alluded to in mac's...you
know, the app for columnizing text or the script written by the fat guy
with the beard with leo la porte (who commented 'like in media
player...oops!') to show media files...are you saying those can't be
done in Windows 7?
Oh and you still can't play most games on linux or macs.
Oops!

Now why are you cross posting when you don't even have the OS you're

Are you that mentally screwed up over computer software?

Are you not getting the point...it's about columnizing text for readability.
Columns, font size, colors...whatever you think makes it easier for you
to read.

The fat bearded guy writes a script to show media files in Safari and
leo la ports says "just like in media player', then he says .."I wasn't

Ah, so you were just trying to change the topic from the fact that as far as

Man, I am so shocked to see you show *no* sign of understanding what
Automator is.

Wait.

I predicted you would not. See above. :)

Well, as predicted by someone else, when you talked about being able to do
all you need to do on Win 7, you meant games. You have no idea what can or
cannot be done on other OSs.

Windows has nothing like the Apple media browser. And if you thought it did

Oh really? I never said nor implied that. I don't need an app like tofu
so I don't really care.
Although I seem to remember an app for Windows, years ago that did do that.

So you posted the wrong vid about the fat guy and the script he wrote
for Safari that leo la porte "pretended' to be so impressed with?
If so then please post the correct vid and I'll gladly take a look at it.
Otherwise, certainly anyone can access all media files from anywhere in
Windows 7.
But I guess you don't know that seeing as how its very obvious to
everyone that you don't even use Windows 7.

Wrong! It puts *ACCESS* to all of your media files in one place. But so
does Windows Explorer. And so does all graphics apps. I hate to inform
you, but that is no BIG DEAL!

Not by that name but I can access all of my media files from Windows
Explorer and from all of my graphics apps.

Try telling me something about Windows 7 that I can't do that you can do
in a mac.
Oh and don't forget...the one big glaring elephant in the room is the
gaming assure.
Just ask your kids about it.

Lets get this straight once and for all. Some of you wing-nuts say you
need different OS's for different things. I said *BULLSHIT*! You can do
everything in Windows 7 that you can on any other OS plus you can do the
games.
You think thats no big deal?
You think games are just a little small insignificant part of the
computer world?
Think again pal!
Games make more money than movies do.
Oops!
And the fact that you can't play most games on any linux distro
(actually all linux distros are basically the same, just different
lipstick) or apple computers is gigantic.
It is the elephant in the room.
So even if all of the big box stores offered Windows, linux (any distro)
or macs all pre-installed and all at the same price...guess which one
would still own the desktop market?
Windows would.
Big oops!

You cannot find an app like it *and* you keep going back and forth as to if
you think Windows is the best choice for you (which is fine by me) or if you
mean to support your initial absurd claim about Windows being able to do
everything other OSs can do.

In short: you have no point and no evidence to support your lack of point.

Who said they could not? Did anyone even hint that people could not find
such files?

Remember: I noted there was nothing on Windows like the Media Browser of OS
X... and you have yet to show otherwise. Nor will you, being that I am
right.

Gee, I can play the same game - you do not use Win 7! Nope. Never even
seen it, have you? Come on, can't you do better than that... you know,
actually try to make a point, stick to it, and support it.

My guess: you will not. You cannot... you do not have the skills.
