I know how you feel. I work in a computer games store and we've spent the
last couple of days dealing with disgruntled customers who cant get their
games to work properly. Not much fun I can assure you.

I know some of the guys that worked on Baldurs Gate post to this ng so I'd
also like to use this opportunity to let you know exactly how much this
sucks and how annoyed the Australian public are when a product is released
in this condition. I know Australia is not considered a big money-spinner
compared to other regions of the world but I'd like to assure everyone that
works at Interplay and Black Isle that I'll think twice before buying or
recommending one of your products in future.
