Leeching

Me: I am SO HAPPY!
Me: Eric downloaded that new Idlewild CD and sent it to meeeeeeee
Me: *rocks out*
Me: well, sorta
Me: they don't really rock out
Rappy: Eric is all kinds of awesome, isn't he?
Me: pretty much, yeah

I'll still buy it in August, because I love this band and want to support their ability to make future CDs. But the impatient harpy in me no longer has to wait four months to hear the tracks.

Aaaaand now I've been introduced to the wonderful world of torrents. Rappy hooked me up with Bitcomet, and a site that lists torrent files, and I've just finished downloading the Idlewild CD that I found inexplicably broken yesterday.

I am going to stay away from file sharing programs like iMesh, because they are of the devil. I tried to uninstall iMesh, and four anti-spyware/adware programs later there was STILL remnants of it on my computer.

I had to go wading into my registry. I think it worked ok.

This time ...

I have spyware in my registry (whereever THAT is) but I'm a-feared to go there.
