My Mini's almost 3, but for some reason has never made it onto the birthday card list. (Is it possible I have an illegitimate Mini? ) I've gotten some other nifty things from my MA over the years when I visit, so I'm not complaining. I just haven't told my Mini that other Minis get cards!

Mine got its card (it still sits in my inbox ) I think it is dependent upon you registering it in the OL, or maybe the dealer entering the info in some internal database.

I'm registered in the OL 'Insider' info, and I get all their other emails, so I'm thinking it's dealer entered. Since I had one of those MAs who is even more enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the car than most of his customers (and that says a lot with Mini customers), I can't say I really care about not getting the card. (But don't tell my Mini!)

I don't recall getting a card and mine is 3 yrs old tomorrow.
I did get a new shifter cable and new rear pads and rotors 2 days before the warranty was up thanks to MoP. They also went above and beyond by looking at the smoking rear wheel of the Jeep and letting us use the lounge while we waited for AAA. The rear passenger caliper was seized up on the Jeep... Don't know what happened, but it's gone back to the place that put the snow wheels on yesterday...

I got a new strain of the SpyAxe Trojan imbedded in Windows XP for Christmas. So far, all previous methods documented for removal have failed.

Yipeee!

I love my mac. I had a PC that was so imbedded with spyware that my computer technician had to erase my hard drive and re-install all the programs. I became obsessed with spyware and did spyware scans twice a day. I then sat back in my chair and looked at Louis with all his non-worried computer using and went to the store and got my mac mini. Louis has one too now.

Love them!!!

Theo,
Go http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner Here and do the scan. I found this to be the best virus proggy around. I was using Nortons premier edition and was having some issues. Ran this scan and found around 30 trojan's and virus's on my pc.

No, I am not (yet) serving in the role of Typhoid Theo!

A hole in IE (a ".dll" that handles certain windows file types) was recently exploited by burying a Trojan in a ".WMF" file type. This happened to be in a video I viewed on a site that requires IE (I normally use Firefox). You can immediately prevent this from happening to you by unregistering the "shimgvw.dll" file in XP. This is the object that is being exploited.

BTW - I use Symantec (daily LiveUpdate) and MS AntiSpyware and still got hit.
