Unfortunately IBM's webpage seems to have a javascript error and I can't download it. Luckily someone* archived a copy. True, it's not quite not quite the Linux version of Apple’s 1984, but it did make the hair on the back of my neck tingle. (and it still does everytime I watch it)</p> <p><b>UPDATE: Turns out the original wouldn't open in linux, oops! Lucas was able to convert it to a DivX/FFmpeg MPEG-4 format. If you had trouble downloading the original, try this one instead. It's also about half the size. :) I was able to play it in mplayer, xine, and totem:</b> <a href="/archives/prodigy_mp4.avi">Click here</a> to download it. (3.5M)</p> <p>If you're on windows, this will mean you'll need the DivX codec. There's a link to download the free edition from <a href="http://www.divx.com/divx">this website</a>.</p> <p>Thanks <a href="http://lucas.is-a-geek.net/archives/2003/09/06/nifty_ibm_linux_commercial">Lucas</a>. Use my link to download it, don't kill his poor .Mac account. :)</p> Fri, 10 Oct 2003 12:58:30 -0400 urn:uuid:7c9e78be9d6213f388287fd4bba13e80 Tony Buser http://juju.org/articles/2003/10/10/ibm-linux-commercial-prodigy Linux http://juju.org/articles/trackback/247
