// feend's Viewing br.rm in Linux mini-HOWTO
//
// http://www.oldskoolphreak.com

Like other listeners of rfa I too wanted to view the binary revolution
unveiling video (www.oldskoolphreak.com/video/br.rm) but was horrified that
I could not even after downloading the RealPlayer client
(http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=052703realhome_1_1).
After many hours of therapy I am now able to help those who may also be
suffering from this condition.

Using Realplayer8 to view br.rm
