Vinnie just had to test his new weapon, possibly to show
the RIAA lawyers breathing down his neck that he could do it.

To protect yourself from future episodes of sabotage, I
suggest you switch to versions older than 5.2.anything and
never upgrade again. If upgrade dialogs are a bother try
the expired beta 5.1.0b25 and use the BearStart utility to run it.
Aaron, any idea why it keeps telling me this version has expired? worked great on my old puter(XP). Fired right up with the BearStart utility. Tried it on my Vista puter and it's a no-go. Fire up the utility and it keeps saying "This version no longer works."
