Of course I remember you my friend...:-)
How are ya? Real good to see ya here...
Actually the new one (Accelerate) is out Tuesday and Best Buy would be a
good place to buy it as it will be $9.99 first day only. There is also a
CD/DVD version as well as a (gasp) LP/CD version ! Cool huh?
I've already heard a leaked copy and I'd be happy to tell you about it off
site if you'd like. Just "despamguard" my email addy and drop me a line if
you'd like.
However, I will be happily buying the CD/DVD on Tuesday if that tells you
anything...;-)
Nice to hear from you...:-)
Andrew
