hehehehehe

So will no one tell me how to get this thing from AOL?

Why wouldn't they just put it on the Official Site? - (GRRRRR.... Boardroom marketing ideas really tick me off)

To Mordor, yes. To AOL, NO!

"I would have gone with you...into the very fires of Mordor. But to AOL, I cannot!"

We can use AOL to our benefit, to the benefit of us all.

You really are from Gondor aren't you? AOL can only be used for evil. It must be destroyed!

OK - The exclusive AOL thing only lasts 24 hours....

From that [more] link:

America Online users will be the first to glimpse the trailer by logging onto AOL Keyword: Lord of the Rings. Available exclusively for 24 hours on AOL, the trailer will be live at the official site at midnight Monday.

How do I join AOL on Sunday? - I really have never been there. Does it cost money?

What does this make Microsoft?

Personally, I'd say AOL is only the equivalent of Isengard. Microsoft is Mordor. THAT place is the heart of true evil.

I think you need to give them your credit card number to activate your "free" time. After that they start billing automatically. Or at least that is how it worked when my mother was enslaved by them.

Hair, you are being tempted. Do not give in! Once you sign up for AOL they never let you go - I'm not joking, it's true.

Rosie, Microsoft is not evil. Microsoft is responsible for much of the computer revolution. Apple is evil.

It is only yours by unhappy chance. It could have been mine! It should have been mine!

OOOF!

........Whoa........I think I need to start getting more than 3 hours of sleep a night.

I can't complain about last Christmas, though...my brother gave me a beautiful copy of The Hobbit (hence the double copies!) complete with fold out maps and Tolkien's notes and other goodies. It's an older sort of collector's edition. Really nice!

Hmmm. I'd be dropping BIG hints in HIS direction, then!

There is a fell voice on the wind.

Apple is evil......
While Linux exists there is still hope.....

Could you please explain this to my computer, then? It uses Microsoft as an excuse to do nasty things...

Yes, I know, some good comes out of Microsoft. Win 2K and XP are far better than their predecessors (it's incredible how much my job has changed since we ditched 9x). But I STILL say there is evil there that does not sleep...

Hair, listen to us. Do not give in to the power of the AOL. It has a mind of its own. Once it has you in its grasp it is very difficult to become free again.

Take a deep breath. Wait the 24 hours...

This year he's broke...but then, he has LOTS of used bookstores where he is, so maybe! Hint dropping starts now!
