Works great playing my downloaded keyboard lessons.

Why not? "I don't do Windows" doesn't mean they don't write software for us.

If you had been wise and went with QuickTime for your video, you might have at least a minimal amount of interest in your video content on your web site.

As it is, using the WMV or RM is a big turn-off for many Mac people. Personally, unless the content is absolutely needed, I won't even bother investigating a web site that uses non-QT multimedia content.
