Mac SE/30 now with SuperClock!

I picked up an old SE/30 (System 7.1, 16 MHz) in the garbage pile outside of a Church sale and installed the following today;

SuperClock! 3.9.1 (1991)
After Dark 2.0t (1990)
Amazing (1984)
SCSI Tools (1987)
Disk First Aid 7.0 (1991)

9" of black and white screen joy, almost just like my first Mac.

MPlayer better than QuickTime?

I installed MPlayer OS X 2 version 2.0 (v2.0b4),, and it plays many more formats than Apple's QuickTime Player.

"MPlayer is a movie player which runs on many systems (see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, RealMedia, Matroska, NUT, NuppelVideo, FLI, YUV4MPEG, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5, WMV and even H.264 movies."

Wow, a totally flexible multi-media player!
