| Do I have BO or something? I'm miffied, I'm annoyed and I'm feeling very hurt! A wealthy, Amiga using NIgerian drops in to spread some of his wealth to a select group of AW.net readers, and I get left out. "Okay", I think to myself, "I'll wait for the next one."
Next I find that someone uses AW.net to spread a virus and guess what, I get left out again! What do I have to do in order to make downloading XP SP2 worthwhile? Okay, I'm too lazy to move over to IE and OE, and switching off my virus checker and firewall seems too much like work for my tastes... What do I do to get included in all these optional extras that some AW.net members seem to enjoy???

You need another one to play when the computer is actually ready to use.
Maybe add more for malfunctions and then we'll have music all day.
