That reminded me about those long, unskippable previews on DVDs... extremely annoying. VLC at least could skip straight to the disc menu though, pretty much ditched Windows Media Player and PowerDVD after that.

Now here I am on the high seas, with all my media consumption devices running some flavor of Linux. Have not had a single annoyance since.

I've been sailing the high seas since BBS's reigned supreme. Btw, there are telnet BBS's.
