Lesson learned. Thanks...

Well that's a fine use, then. I've known people sadly that have gotten burned on PP and phished/hacked into, etc. But I've been using it for years for Ebay and other payments and as an Un-verified member it's been all right. Plus, if MJ had listed all those benefits, if you had a SERIOUS business and Paypal was your payment channel, then that's good too. But if you're just like me and using it for Ebay, I wouldn't go all out. If you're doing an RB-style business and you like the flexibility of multiple payment options, then sure :)

Yeah ugh, it's been a slow day. I just now realized why you were concerned. I'm not linking it to "verify", I'm linking it so that's where the money will come and go and hopefully that'll make it easy to manage. Just though I'd explain that even though you already got what I meant and I was the one being slow. lol

Understood, and I hope that you can get it through when everything re-opens, and that it will work out for you :)

Now, if someone could tell me how to get Thief (original or Gold) running on Win7 that would be swell...

Hah, I completely gave up on that one.

Smile: "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" is such a damn good album.

Frown: My ex introduced me to that album and I still haven't quite figured out how to listen to it without thinking about her.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
