Module 4 - Downloading tools/plug-ins

I have most of the programs suggested in this task already, except for Windows Media Player for Mac OS X, so I tried to download it several times without success. I did have a hard time thinking Windows would have a good time holding hands with my Mac before the download effort, but I hope that wasn't why it didn't work. I will look into this problem later and see what happened.

Update: Finally found out that the download did not work because my StuffItExpander wasn't the latest version. Downloaded the last version 11.0 and The Player finally worked! Phew..It just goes to show how important it is to have the most updated versions of programs, even when it comes to downloading other ones!

I use most of these programs(AdobeAcrobat, Shockwave, Flash, Quicktime) daily without actually thinking about it, they are such an essential part of how I read news, get updated, use websites and send and receive media.
