Ah, so you think lower gas prices are a *good* thing? <br><br>Me, I'm still waiting for the Ideal Car Safety Device: a steel spike planted in the middle of the steering wheel with the tip<br>3 inches from the driver's chest wall. Now _that_ is what I'd call _safe_.<br>

The temp page for CodeWeavers now has an email registry to<br>
receive an unlock code for Mac (intel) or Linux versions,<br>
as well as direct download links of special unlocked builds<br>
that it says will only be available for today.<br>
<br>
I was rude and greedy and opportunistic and did both of<br>
each, since I will probably have an intel Mac in the<br>
not too distant future. To borrow Lou Costello's line:<br>
I'm a baaaaad boy!<br>
<br>
Downloads went smoothly, so they don't seem to be<br>
experiencing server overloads on that.<br>
<br>
Of course, accepting (or exploiting) the freeby deal would<br>
feel much more justified if Mr. Lame Duck had actually<br>
played an active part in bringing about the lower gas price<br>
conditions of the CodeWeavers challenge. But, hey, they<br>
set the rules...<br>
<br>
peace<br>
