Sure they didn't include a manual with the program but the options are incredibly straight forward.
There is an option when you first install it to select how to handle right-clicks. If you leave it to 'enabled', it will take full control of the right-click. Set it to "alt+shift" or similar and it will require you to "alt+shift+r-click" to access the glass2k menu. Normal right clicks will work fine.
Also, now that right click works, using alt+shift+r-click lets you set the transparancy level for each program window. Varying amounts from 0% to 100%.
This program is excellent.. people just have to read the options...
I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot... but the best place to move to after being a sysadmin (if you have a broad range of skills and are one of the lucky few that can actually converse with people without too much effort) is pre-sales support/sales engineer. I made the move 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. I get to design networks for customers without worrying about how to implement them! And when they break at 3am, they call the help desk, not me!! Plus I more than doubled my salary in the process.
Pick a company that treats their sales team as gold, as that's ultimately what you become.
"Remember one thing that Napster is a company that has employees who get paid to do what they do. This is not a service that they're offering for the good of man kind, to spread love and music. They're doing it for potential IPO's for alignment with a big company where there will be a major cash transfer to the investors. This is about money. The people who work for Napster are not doing it because they have nothing better to do with their time. It's the American Way!"
There is a software package called GNUtella that is freely distributed and maintained by many people who keep their identities concealed. There is no corporate involvement in the project, and the only corporate ties which the program previously had were cut by the corporation.
Although this software, much like Napster, allows users to freely transfer files (including Metallica MP3s), would you consider this to be acceptable given that there is no money being generated and no intention or capability to generate money in the future?
I would imagine parts of the government must be THRILLED with the DMCA.. I suppose all of their supercomputers to crack encrypted messages is useless now? Since, afterall, decrypting people's messages, conversations, etc would be in violation of the DMCA... This could bring a whole new life to the underground:)
If the guy says you have to CALL for service when you buy it retail, then buy it retail! Save the shipping, and forget their lame service. (Has anyone confirmed that you can, in fact, get them there without the service being activated?)

Rogers has been pretty quiet about this. Of course, with their relationship with AT&T it may work out well for them.
But wasn't AT&T selling off the broadband arm? Does this add to that seperate entity, or would this put AT&T back in the broadband game?

Scour has a great 'scour exchange' program very very very similar to Napster.. 38000+ users makes for a decent base of music too.
Even found some nice obscure tunes I couldn't find on Napster or Gnutella!
