What the %$"& are you talking about? A kind person told you about a=

a server which can only be accessed by the Carracho client (made here=

for Macs and it has some good advantages compared to Hotline.=

It is, and if you wouldn=B4t drink before posting, you might not have=

about folks who didn=B4t do you nothing and who simply make you=
envious.
You could have asked politely if someone could get the file for you=
and
send it to you. Judging from your demeanour, it=B4s not worth helping=
you.
All the more, as you only plan to leach the server and

What? Obviously you=B4re not "actual" this time ;-)

You shouldn=B4t believe Intel=B4s add slogan "the center of your=

so easily next time. :-)
