That launch.com thing seemed really cool. Until I went through the whole
process of customizing a station, only to get this message at the end:

Sorry, your set up does not meet the system requirements for a Macintosh,
which are:
Platform: MacOS 8.5 or higher (Not Mac OS X)
Browser: Netscape Navigator 4.5 or above (Not Netscape 6.0 or higher)
Player: Windows Media Player Version 7+

The hell? They couldn't have told me that when I first selected "Customize
your station"? (I'm running Mac OS X with Safari & IE.)
