For those curious as to why they are doing this, its because they lost a bet with President Bush so to speak (No, you couldn't make this up, a software company was actually betting on politics)

A Goal has been met!

Yes! You heard it right! On October the 14th, the average price of a gallon of gasoline dropped below $2.79 a gallon here in the Twin Cities. Sure, the decline of gas prices was due to the total collapse of the world economy, and the price of oil spiraling into a vortex of doom as a result. And to be honest, we're not sure if this was actually the work of President Bush, or whether our Lame Duck Challenge had more of an impact on the economy than we suspected. But hey: a deal's a deal, right? Our giving away all of our software for free is just our way of trying to make good on the loss of untold $trillions worth of equity from American pocketbooks. We hope you agree that it was all worth it to get back to the good old days of cheap gas again. Ummm, yeah.

In any case, just click on this link to get your free software!

If Bush gets it done, America gets FREE software!

Goal Achieved! Oh Crap--My Bad!

My fellow Americans. As you probably know by now, we recently succeeded in reaching one of our Lame Duck Presidential Challenge Goals . Of course, we reached it in perhaps the worst way possible--by destroying the world economy. And while ostensibly President Bush was to get the credit/blame for meeting our goals, the bottom line is that I cannot help but feel personally responsible for the greatest financial collapse since the 1930s.

How was I to know that President Bush would take my challenge so seriously? And, give the man credit, I didn't think there was *any* way he could pull it off. But engineering a total market meltdown - wow - that was pure genius. I clearly underestimated the man.

I'm ashamed that I goaded him into this and take full responsibility for the collapse of any savings you might have. Please accept our free software as my way of apologizing for the global calamity we now find ourselves embroiled in.

I REALLY want this! All I do is give my E-mail addy in the

"Use this form to register for a serial number. Due to load, expect your serial number to be emailed to you in a few days." ?

I'm having a strange experience trying to download it, I get a 25 meg file that seems to download the same 25 meg file in a endless loop. Can you help me out dsio?

( I saw this on the web when I was looking at Wine, was going to ask you about it! ":O}

[Daniel ~]

I'm doing something wrong! Just can't figure out what!

[dsio]

I can give you a copy of the installer as long as you register for the serial key to use it.

[Daniel ~]

Which I did! Once for Linux Pro, once for Games.

Many thanks dsio!
