I recently purchased an IMac running OS X 10.5.2. Two problems have arisen:

A) Is there a dedicated mail client that will handle hotmail?

B) Is there a Windows Media Player that will work under my system? I need this to listen to several local radio stations. My system does not support "classic" applications. Any workarounds?

I can live with getting my mail from the Hotmail web site if I have to. The lack of WMP is a more significant problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Greg

i can't answer your question about hotmail (though i'm sure you can use POP3 with mail.app), but flip4mac should fix your WMP issue.
