 I All.
This nice Sunday July 30, 2000 I was dumping a new software with my unregistered NuMega SoftICE, for educational purposes, when a cracker contacted me trough ICQ 2000a:

"Hi, old man! Here is the pHrOZEN Crew. Did you test my universal keygen for Resplendent Registrar?"

Interested by this new I booted my Windows 2000 Professional in order to suck this keygen and test it on the newest RR. In the same occasion I decided get the latest F.O.S.I. cracked file, the Macromedia Dreamweaver version 3.0 in order to examine it, for educational purposes, of course.

Well, Windows puppets, at the same time I decided suck the entire FixPak 14 for OS/2 Warp using my new Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 final version. Windows 2000 Workstation install by itself the IE 5.0 and this one runs fine. But last week I decided upgrade it to 5.5 and I did it trough Windows Update.

I sucked fine the universal Keygen by Kurious and the DW ripped by F.O.S.I. And also I downloaded fine all files for the Warp FixPak, because the new Internet Explorer works as FTP resuming all files without GetRight cooperation. The problem was that I decided surf on the Net at the same time, seeking for news. Just when I started my IE 5.5 in this operation I received this alert: "The page requested cannot be displayed". I examined the problem and discovered that is a bug, because I encountered an incompatibility between Windows 2000 Professional and the new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. I also received a banner from Dr. Watson about illegal memory address access in this operation and also discovered that Namo Web Editor is damaged by this bug.

In order to solve the problem I used my Opera Beta 4.0 for Windows (I'm Opera registered user since the first release and purchased my license in BMT Micro, Inc.). Finally, using my Opera, I could surf on the Net and could get all information needed at the same time that my IE 5.5 was downloading the Fix for Warp 4.0.
