Are you playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2? If so talk to me whenever you want so that we can 'roast' a few. ;p
Also add me on Xbox Live if you want to play some GoW, UT3, or Halo3.
Epic and CliffyB, we want a new Jazz3!!

Oooooooooooffffff!!!! Thank goodness I bought Win 7 in the shop!!!
We are Furrys, with dignity and pride. We are free no one can touch us, no one can force us to deny what we are believing in no one can destroy our feelings, our love.
All of us are walking through the world with eyes open with purpose in our step. Sometimes we even abandon society only to embrace this Furry thing to be ourselves.
Whoo, i'll be reminded to downgrade to Vista soon.
Using RC 7100, though i'm sure the message is the same with all of them.
Why not pick up a cheap OEM version of Windows 7?
If you need me, please contact me via Private Message or my Yahoo account on my profile
Time to upgrade if that is your PC, always wanted to know what would happen if I chose to keep the RC installed.
