MandrakeSoft Files for Bankruptcy Protection

[J. Eric Gilliland]

Hmmm..that explains a lot.  For several days I have been
trying, without success, to log on so that I can join the
MandrakeClub.  Every time I got errors and was not allowed
to log on using any of the info I have provided in the
past.  I sent an email asking for assistance but recieved
no reply.  Maybe this is why.

After reading this article, I just went and joined
MandrakeClub as if I have never signed up at Mandrake
before, and it worked.

What do you folks think?  Was this money wasted for me? 
Will Mandrake come back?  Any ideas, opinions?  Perhaps I
just want validation since I may have just wasted $60 (but
I think not).  I hope they will come back, and I think they
will.

Have a great day, in whatever part of KC you're in.

The archaeologist has a unique chance to determine empirically how preliterate cultures came to be 
as they were.  His use of technical procedures in reaching an ever more finely drawn chronological 
scale needs no apology; these are prerequisite to his determination of culture change through time, 
a subject in which he should be able to work with unique authority.
