The Reg launches downloads sitePublished Thursday 16th December 2004 12:05 GMT
Site offer Were absolutely delighted in the run-up to the Festive Season to be able to offer our readers a little something from the Vulture Central get-something-for-free-pay-nothing-ever department.
Indeed, were sure that fans of El Reg will find this a refreshing change from the inexorable buy-now-pay-2020-at-86%-APR Yule orgy of capitalism which has so sullied the spirit of Christmas. So, with all temptation to utter "bah humbug" pushed firmly from our minds, we direct you immediately to our all-new downloads service, offering a range of gratis and shareware Windows and Mac goodies, including the highly-regarded Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0, Webroot's Spy Sweeper and VideoLAN's VLC media player. Also, there are plenty of try-before-you buy options. And if that's not enough, we have a new store, the Reg Software Shop to flog a veritable cornucopic selection of top-of-the-range software, packed in boxes. You can find the button for Reg Downloads on the top righthand of our masthead. The Reg Software Shop can be found alongside links to our other merchandising extravaganzas, in the Reg Shops box, nestling under the search box on the top lefthand side of every page. Lovely. Naturally, some poor soul has to graft to provide all of this meaty goodness, and he too will need to put a goose on the table this Christmas to feed his emaciated, sobbing children. So, it is at this point that we introduce with a small squadron of puti blowing trumpets the people behind the Reg Software Shop - 5 Star. No, this is not the same outfit as the 5 StaR fronted by one Silent Killa - "da sickest and one of the hardest rappers from Cali" - but rather, well - lets allow the blurb to do the talking:
And with that we wish you, our beloved readers, a very happy Christmas and a prosperous and creative new year. ® |
orgy of capitalism??? Milton Friedman and Adam Smith in togas?
Well thanks, 'cause I was kinda confused there for a second. Really.
