In case any of you would like to refresh your memories...

It is 28 megabytes and is 166 minutes long.  About the first half is 
all Rob Glaser and his allegations that Microsoft deliberately 
disabled RealPlayer.  The second part of the hearing--the panel that 
included Papows--starts about 80 minutes in.  Papows' opening remarks 
are about 97 minutes in.  A discussion about Microsoft pressuring PC 
makers not to ship Lotus products starts at around 129 minutes.


I also have some snips from the first hearing:
