stop being bastards. heh. i don't give a rat's ass about any of this. it just makes me mad/laugh that people are dumb enough to buy into that .net/hotmail/subscription based bullshit and other stuff. if you use it, i really don't care. in fact, M$ has been swell about helping the economy and all that shit...helping people get jobs. i just can't stand the fact that while 2K is decent, 'Me' is a piece of crap and they sell it to these poor stupid AOL/email people (hey, what the hell...i used to be one) and they slap the all-american M$ label on it and...ARGH! i'm not making any points here so screw it. go program something already. :) besides, a devil is much more macho than a gay little pastel colored window or something dumb called 'Me'...fucking marketing geniouses. >:\ and, i have nothing against gay people either...as long as they're not playing loud GAY music that i can hear. hehehhehehhe.
