You don't need XP to use MsAgents ... http://www.agentry.net has 415
characters available...
Enjoy!

rover.acs and earl.acs. Can anyone tell me where to get them?

Are the Office "Power Pup" or "Rocky" (XP) characters available in ACS
format?

If you have XP you have them. Move a copy to the character folder.

First, you don't NEED them, unless you are hungry and you eat ACS files or
you are an alien and need them to generate the spores necessary to reproduce
asexually. So relax, man, it's just a couple of files. As for where to get
them, you could always UPGRADE to Windows XP. The characters come with it,
and I hear in the future they might include a free pair of pants with it.

Finally, I'm not sure of the legalities concerning trading the characters
included with Windows XP. While I doubt that Microsoft wants to keep you
from perpetuating your species asexually, I suspect that they have rights
with regards to these characters and specifics for how they get distributed.
You can decide for yourself whether or not they deserve them. But then
again, we might decide that you don't have any rights and so we'll come
over, try on your clothes, make a couple of long distance calls, and clean
out the fridge without your permission - and wouldn't you just love us then?

Here's an interesting one for ya:

With the exception of Merlin, the other characters included in Windows XP
are not considered re-distributable.

Rob, how did you get to be so damn funny? Are you a professional comedian?
If not, you should be. ;-)

I owe it all to clean living.

Thank you. I consider that a great compliment. It would indeed be a
wonderful way to make a living, bringing smiles to people's faces. In my
mind, it wouldn't be genuine to do the same material, over and over, every
day of the week. I think it would be a bit like turning a hobby into a
career. I'm leaving my options open, though. Perhaps one day I will find my
'true calling', and that may just be it.

Maybe a political satirist or novelist then? You are genuinely witty and I
have always enjoyed reading your posts.

Ignore the fact that half of them don't have preview photos, and another
quarter of the download links don't work.

Dag nabbit, I didn't know I was entertaining the masses entirely at my
expense! How about a free copy of some software or something, ya cheap
bastards?! You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Heck, I could use a new
pillowcase or a decent pair of socks. You know we can't count on Microsoft
to supply ALL of our clothing, even if they do include free pants in the
next version of Windows.

Windows XP: Now with Levis 404 Not Found. It's better with the button-fly.

Ergh! That should have been
