After who knows how many days, the MSN Messenger issue has been rooted out.

I have been shunned. Bill Gates told me the following in a very nice error message:

(i sorta quote here)

"Come back and upgrade to Messenger 6.0 when you get a real computer. You stoopid poor people, thinking you can just go where you want on the internet and download anything you damn well please and expect it to work. BAH! I own you!!! Don't try again until you can scrap together enough dough for a new system, or at least one that can handle Windows 98. Of course, by that time I'll have sanctioned the release of Messenger 7,000 and you'll have to be able to run Win3K. Anyways, I'm a busy man, what with my commissioning the repainting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with my head in God's place, so until you pay off your bills and buy a new machine or jack the nice one from your friend Jen's place while she's away, please feel free to download the last version of MSN Messenger that accepted Windows 95 as an OS. Now get the hell out of here."

Bill Gates is a jerk and I hate my computer.
