Some people like the community aspect of it, and the ease of use (think Slingo addicts)... others maintain it as an easy way to keep contact with their friends on AOL, even though they've gotten a life. Oh well...

Must be, if I can pay $3-5 + 2.50 S/H (hmmm, that's a little fishy) from BMG... I only buy when it's one of those buy 1 at 1/2 price, get 2 'free' (S/H only). Works out to about $13 for 3 CDs... not a bad deal.
Of course, they don't carry half of what I want, but hey... most of that you can get elsewhere.
the whole mouse is the button, for those who were too inept to find the button on the front of the mouse... now they can just bang it against the table...
It should be more specifically defined... like:
[ADV:] or something less ambiguous. Plus, if it happens to be all caps to start with, your teacher shouldn't be sending mail that has a subject of: ADVERBS ARE FUN!
Actually, no... not by a long shot... I thought they were pretty dumb for a while, and now I certainly don't hold true to proper haiku form (I tend not to try to fit a seasonal reference in there), but that's why I put a '?' at the end of "Haiku?"...
It's meant to be a little amusing... perhaps even funny. To each his own... just wish I knew what mine was 8^) --
I believe the device driver that it installs for "motherboard resources" is one of several that is determined by a PRNG that runs during setup... of course, the last time I let 98 install itself (hit 'typical' just to see what would happen) I can't use IE. Won't work. Type in a URL from a 'My Computer' window - *poof*. Gone. No blue screens, no freezes, just nothing aside from the local drive and net 'hood. Can't use Windows Update, either, since it won't run with Netscape, and IE can't make it that far...
mutate... hmmm, sounds like that degrading ink in those 1-time-pad CDs....
That's the rub... some small company who is designing (for example) a RDMBS system on NT/2000 kinda needs the licenses, but many not have the pull to make MS respect them. Hell, MS even screwed with the license pricing for IBM a few years back (something about a competing OS...)
Do I need a new license if I get a new SCSI controller, then?
"You license code doesn't match your hardware. Please contact Microsoft with your corporate credit card #."
Companies as still so afraid on MS that they tend to sign just about anything, for fear that they won't renegotiate: "We'll just take our licenses and go home, then." Many smaller shops can't afford to not have Windows 2000 in their sales arsenal. Sucks, but they don't have the financial means to stand on principle sometimes. Where's the DOJ with a smackdown when you need 'em?

I figure you could get that 'extra few dollars' for each CD... even at only $5/CD - $3750 is nothing to sneeze at.

Green isn't a primary in one classification (RYB), and Yellow isn't in the other(RGB). Then, there's CYM, but that's all-together different...

You are legally allowed to throw that brick, or shoot their tires out with any type of weaponry you think suitable (i.e. Grenade Launcher).
At least, that's the way I'd like it in my world...
