You know I figured it out... The mayor of Santa Cruz doesn't trim his beard. I suspect he's a Taliban. They've taken over. This software protection scheme is actually a way of activating a bomb that is cleverly conceiled in the manual. A manual they know no one will ever open...even if they want a friggin phone number (found on page 352 BTW under the heading:- now how's this for a deception- "Technical Support". My God!!!!! The devils.... This secret code obtained while trying, without success BTW, to register the product will set off the bomb on October 21, 2002 at high noon.... Why that date? We have no idea, but we're checking with our experts who are presently in a nudie bar in Kasabazua.... Stay tuned. As soon as we've checked them for STDs we'll 3rd degree 'em for sure... Meanwhile, back at the ranch, George meat with Colin and little Tony and tried, without success to find Canada on a map of North America....Stay tuned....We suspect foul play...
