    Dear Treasured Homosexual Reader and Contributor,

    I would advise you to use a peer-to-peer file sharing program and downloading a copy along with a keygen or crack program.
    If this is beyond your means and you happen to be among the few people on Slashdot who have friends then have a friend burn it on CD.

    Much Love,

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda-Fent

    In your sig you wrote: people spent $millions on y2k and nothing happend. They got what they paid for. It was not a scam.

    NOT TRUE!

    Y2K was far more devistating to the computer industry than most people care to admit. Here we are patting ourselves on the back for "avoiding" the problem, while we convienently forget that the world's leading tech companies - Microsoft and Yahoo - both hit their all time highs WITHIN ONE WEEK OF JAN 1 2000 AND HAVE NEVER RECOVERED SINCE

    Not only was Y2K a big catastrophy to my personal portfolio (please don't say "nothing happened" - I went from coulda-retired to broke), it marked the begining of the end of the Computer Indsutry!
