real player and gold pass

[randy turner]

hi, kirk,

i will write them conserning linux soon.
i really got the feeling that the person wthat i was talking with on the
phone didn't care if it worked or not.
when i told them that it did not work they didn't even ask why.
but maybe if i write a message it will get to the right people.
thanks
randy
