at work, and i couldn’t because i didn’t have permission (i have win 2000 on my work comp, but only super-user privleges). Why that was blocked i will never know (our comp guy is a rat batard), but this morning, low and behold, MSN messenger loads up when i check my email! no on touched my comp, it just suddenly appeared! anyone know what the smurf is going on?
