Not only that but I don't think Classic Pipe is yet compatible with Windows Vista. That and, while I do enjoy BSC's games they're not worthwhile enough for me to try to get replacement keys every time I get a new computer or have a hardware crash. On the other hand at least BSC offers replacements and doesn't charge for them. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 27, 2009 6:11 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Registrations was RE: Q9 and cracks > Hi Daren, > Unfortunately, that has always been Jaws's major weakness.
