P.S.

Brandon,

Would it be practical of me to save this email with its link? Or should I 
just remember to go to filehipo  next time this happens? How about file 
rhinoceros? Or file zebra? Sorry. I've always found this name amusing.
happesn?

Yeah, that's there update message.
Unfortunetly I can't make heads or tails of it, although I usually am
updated before they push those out. As a rule of thumb, you can grab the
latest version of winamp from here pretty easily.
