hehe - I even used IE to log onto the sites, figuring MS would figure
some way to***Netscape users : ) Got a minimal install of it for
logging onto Internet *** Zone for games, although primarily use
Netscape.
NO word yet, and haven't heard of anyone that had. And you'd think
SOMEONE here on RAS would be among the lucky ones, since we'd be the
type to sit there all day pressing reload to try to get on, whereas some
lamer looking for an arcade game would give up.
If I knew others had gotten word, then I could say oh well, didn't get
it- but I guess this way there's still hope : )
