    Crossover made a statement saying if gas went below $2.79 before Bush left office they'd give away crossover for free for a day. It happened! Get it while it's hot!

    for anyone who doesn't know, crossover helps you install windows games on linux.

    I'm not too sure what it is but I'm downloading anyway, I'll figure it out later, I can't pass up free software. :D By the way, what's this software normally cost?

    Another thing I was wondering if they've known about this for a while. Reason being that on a blog covering the event ( here) said that if gas dropped below $2.79 in the Twin Cities among other things that they'd do the deal. Well it's been below that for at least a few weeks now, I mean it's under $2.10 right now in the Twin Cities so this whole thing didn't just happen. I don't really care though, just thought it was weird that now they released it after a few weeks, but who am I to complain, it's free software. :)

    Oh yeah, bump for the last half hour. ;)
