I was waiting for someone to mention this, now I can flame...

The latest word from Discovery, and Rick Ross (I heard this info second
hand from someone who calls Discovery's BBS):

	Rick has rewritten M II.  It seems there was a "pirate" program that
ran in the background while running the original M II.  This program told you
what the keywords were to type in so you wouldn't have to refer to the manual.

	It seems Rick found out, rewrote M II so you couldn't do that, and is
now charging $15 per ugrade.  That includes brain files from what I 
understand.  

	Considering that brainfiles need to be ugraded every 2 to 4 weeks, 
Discovery will be getting almost $30 a month from registered users, a bit of
a ripoff if you ask me.

could all be wrong.  As Ripley said:  "Believe it or not!"
