As with almost every updated release of the Quicktime, a new icon emerges - in this case it is also accompanied by the addition of an X at the end of the name, probably acknowledging that it will be some time before the blue Q is completely superseded by the new one. In a way, this iteration of the Q-clock is the one that was always meant to be. Finally the count will reach 20 seconds and the arm will tick its way into formal harmony with the Q descender. I'm sure many of us have always wondered why this hadn't happened at the outset."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1245063546.usr18053.jpg" /></p><p>I remember that very first logo.&nbsp; It stared at me blankly for many weeks as I tried to get Myst working on my 486-DX4 100.&nbsp; I hated Quicktime on Windows back then.&nbsp; Now, I tolerate it.&nbsp; Frankly, it's much better on the Mac, but that's to be expected; Office and MSN Messenger are just a short step away from unbearable on the Mac!</p><p>Incidentally, I'm not a huge fan of the new logo.&nbsp; It's a bit generic for my tastes.</p>
