tools: real alternative

I've been tempted to install the latest RealPlayer for a month or two, as so many site are using RealMedia for their clips. Several times over the prior years I've installed RealPlayer, each time finding it excessively difficult to locate the link for their free player, and after finding it the damned thing tried to take over control of just about every form of media on the machine. Then it asked if I wanted to buy it, just about every day. It's not an uncommon problem.

Yesterday I found Real Alternative, which is apparently included in the KL-coded pack. It allows playback of a slew of Real Media formats without installing the Real player. I watched clips offa Comedy Central for about an hour last night. What a blast.
