I remember those horrible versions of Real player too.

I HAD to install it on my Ubuntu because I wanted to listen to BBC
broadcasts. Helix just would not work.

I can confirm that it is NOT the horrible beast it once was. OTOH, I
would much rather be using open source if I could - however, compared to
BBC I am a very small fish.
