I've updated my AdAware. LavaSoft's freeware spy catcher software. It works great. Much better than the old version I've had for ages. It just occurred to me to check for an update. The new version got rid of a lot of stuff, mostly left from Alexa, that the old version of AdAware didn't catch.

PS- Snood is working fine now but it did automatically install that damn Bonzi Buddy on my computer. No screen to ask if it was ok first. I just opened my menu and there it was. It was all over the computer too. Very invasive. Very poor of the Snood people to do that. Makes me angry really. They want you to pay for their game but they stick you with invasive software that takes another program to get rid of it. At least I hope it's all gone. How can you really be sure? I haven't yet done a registry search but AdAware seemed to be pretty thorough in it's own search of the registry so I'm leaving it for now.

Anyway, BOOO to Snood. I wouldn't pay for it after this. I do like the game but I don't want to support a company that supports Bonzi Buddy. Makes you wonder about the Snood program itself.

Snood is a great game. Lots of fun to play when you should be writing or whatever else you are procrastinating on. But, last time I tried it you were forced to install Gator too. Well, I do not want Gator so I decided not to keep the game either. Tonight I ran across a link to the site so I'm trying it again.

I'm downloading Carmageddon! Finally found a site where it's abandonware, free for the downloading. A hefty download but just wait till I'm wrecking cars again. I've missed version one. As much as I like Crashopolypse (spelling doesn't look right) version one had a charm of it's own.

I'll look at this one again. Getting too tired now. Still have a few things to do online.

I'm still looking for Carmageddon. InterPlay has written it off, so why haven't more of the abandonware sites picked it up? Underdog just sends you to Sci Games to order it. But, there are none to be ordered.

Doesn't someone have a nice CD with Carmageddon for me? Ideally #1 and #3 but #3 would be just ducky all on it's own. EA Games said (if they had one in) it would be selling for $6.00. Still irks me that WalMart had one but it was going for over $50.00. Maybe I'll go back down there and see if they've put it on sale now that Christmas is over. I thought about getting a price quote from EA Games and taking it to WalMart as a real test of their price match policy. With my luck, they will be all out of Carmageddon anyway. Why is one old game so hard to find? Why didn't I just buy it a year ago when I was in the US and EA Games had plenty of them in stock.

Woe is me, the game grrl who waited too long for the sale. sigh
