Search using Google!

(How-to: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/basics.html )

For example - using your words...
http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+quick+time

You would quickly realize "quick time" is "quicktime". You would
also find sites like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/Q/QuickTime.html
http://kb.iu.edu/data/affs.html

And as for your need for it - don't know. I don't use your
computer. I - as a standard - install the following web plugins:

- Adobe Flash Player
- Adobe Reader
- Adobe Shockwave Player
- Apple QuickTime
- Real Alternative (in place of RealPlayer)

Various web pages people might visit might need one or more of
those more common plugins/players.

a condescending reply from YOU !!!

Condescending?

I pointed out not only the complete answer to your query but how you could
find it on your own in the future. I cannot fathom how you would find that
condescending in the least.

Perhaps it was 'more than you asked for' - but you only stop learning when
your dead.

Please - come back and analyze it - I am curious just was condescending (in
your opinion) about my response?

If I were to analyze it, I would see the following:

First - I point out in a friendly manner how to use Google in the future. I
give the main page and the *help* page Google setup to further the
undersdtanding of how to compose a good search term.

Next - I point out I could use your own words from your post to find the
answer you were seeking. This was to demonstrate that you don't have to
have any special knowledge of a particular subject when starting your
search - and you are likely to find what you need by using the same terms
you would use to *ask* the question.

I also point out that one of the first thing you would likely notice in your
search (because searches often have to be modified to get more precise
results) is that your splitting of the words "quick" and "time" was not
likely what you are looking for - as the hits from the search show the words
are put together - to form a single word "quicktime".

Then I gave you several of the links from the search that would definitely
explain in decently easy to understand terms what it was you were asking -
what is quicktime.

You also asked if you needed/wanted it. I answered that the only way
someone really could given they do not know you or your needs and the choice
they are trying to make is quite benign... I pointed out that I didn't know
how you used your computer or if you would need quicktime. I then pointed
out that *I* personally installed a few plugins on all computers I setup -
since it was possible the users of said computer might need one or more of
them at any gven point.

But that's my analyzation of it - I am more interested in yours and how it
became condescending?
