2. Download and install Windows Media Components for Macintosh.

I was a DJ in the 80s (see 80s hair -> right), mostly during college. College dances, a thousand people, trying to get them to dance. (I also started a band in the same period). The Canadian charts during the 80s were different than the US charts. Here are some of my favorites:
