However, I am planning to look into the K2 theme; it looks similar to Kubrick, and it has lots of cool AJAX stuff. :-) @Jeremy: Thank you very much for the offer! I had a little surprise today: I resumed my Vista Beta download and got from ~40% to ~60%. But then, unfortunately, at about 60% the download quit with a "fatal error." I'm guessing Vista was pulled off the servers. (Although according to Microsoft that was supposed to happen on the 14th...) Anyway, it looks like I don’t have a copy of the Vista Beta at the moment; I’ll let you know if that changes. Also, thanks for letting me know about the K2 theme. @Colin: Well actually, I kinda like Kubrick; it’s the best theme I’ve found so far.

At any rate, you've already got me bested in that people actually comment on your blog, so that's good to see; and you manage to turn out entries reguarly! Very commendable. Anyway, keep up with the programming, etc, and good luck with all of that; and...PLEASE change your theme, dude. Kubrick is older than my mother...and the most "default" of any theme/style/skin since Luna.

But as Ian explained, it looks like I wouldn't have been able to use the download anyway since I don't have a key. @Ian: Thanks for the explanation!

In order to get a key you will have needed to register before the cut-off. This download facility that you're referring to will be terminated on July 14th, it's there to allow people to complete downloads if they already have a key. Rgds Ian.
