VALENTINE ROSES FOR A FARAWAY FEELING copyright by Michael Forbus This is a tribute to a faraway woman who deserves a doorway full of Roses. And others suffering solitude. Miguel LE JARDIN By Oscar Wilde The lily's withered chalice falls Around its rod of dusty gold, And from the beech-trees on the wold The last wood-pigeon coos and calls. The gaudy leonine sunflower Hangs black and barren on its stalk, And down the windy garden walk The dead leaves scatter, - hour by hour. Pale privet-petals white as milk Are blown into a snowy mass: The roses lie upon the grass Like little shreds of crimson silk.

As a PC user, I think this news bites. For months I ieunirqd about the PC Version and was told several variations of how you'll be releasing the PC version of the beta soon and now you guys are going to go into subscription mode leaving us PC Users out in the cold once again as the Mac Users who were given an opportunity to beta test the benefit of a free subscription for a year? Wow! Talk about fairness. I doubt very highly you're gonna run a beta program just for us PC Users based on our being alienated while waiting to participate in the beta. Hopefully we'll get a special reduced rate by the the time PC version is ready, but I seriously doubt Gobbler cares about us PC users. This is so disappointing.Anonymous Guest 12 Mar 2012
