He looked at me quickly when I asked him that, then replied: "Why, yes. I am he. May I ask why you wish to know?"
"I've heard from a friend you might have gone to school with Nicole," I replied.
"Perhaps I have." he replied quietly. "What would you be doing with any interest in her? She was not the most - " here he cleared his throat politely " - not the most ladylike of people."
I replied that I was concerned about her, for I had not heard from the young lady in some months.
He looked out the window almost in retrospect, almost sadly before replying. After a short time, he said it was quite sad what happened.
"There's a small dinner being given at Marcia's place. I've been invited, as you might imagine - and guests of Marcia are allowed one guest each. If you'd like to know what really happened to Nicole, come with me tonight and I'll tell you - and perhaps we'll get roaring drunk on scotch and soda while we're at it." he said somewhat bitterly.
"Those 'parties' at Marcia's - I've heard of them. I know what they're like, and I'm not like that."
He laughed. "Of course not. Neither am I. But it will give me an excuse to tell you a sad story and get wasted at the same time, won't it?"
If you've come looking for my software, I suppose you've come to the right place.
I suppose you'd like to download it, as well? You're in luck, for both my pieces of software are free - in fact, one is free under the GNU GPL.
ViewpointKiller attempts to fully remove Viewpoint Media Player, Viewpoint Manager, and Viewpoint Toolbar. It will not do this if you just run the program, rather, you select which variant of Viewpoint to remove in the menu. You can remove all three or any of the three you wish. The program generates a log file for you to post on a spyware fighting forum, if you feel the need to do so. ViewpointKiller is at version 1.22 beta.
