Daywalker sends a link to these nice Asian posters for TTT. Lots of annoying pop-up ads, so watch out! [More]
Those having problems playing the FOTR Extended Edition on their Dell Inspiron 8100 will be relieved to know help is on the way. [More]
Casey wrote in: “I also have been having problems with the Extended DVD edition. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100, and found out about the problem from the site.
“I have been pestering both Dell and LG customer support. I thought I would pass along their response, so that other can see that at least the problem has been acknowledged (although it only took me about 5 e-mails to make them do so) and a solution should be forthcoming.”

“Lord of the Rings Extended Edition “Our engineers are aware of the error and are currently working on a solution. I expect a firmware upgrade will be available soon at LgService.com“
This is what I got from Dell:
“Dear Casey, Thanks for writing in. It’s always a pleasure to assist you.
Casey, I understand exactly how you feel. Though this is a known issue, a fix is not ready yet and will be out in a few weeks. Please subscribe to FileWatch to be notified when the update is released.
Again, my apologies for the frustration this is causing you.”
Like free wine and cheese and nibbly things on bits of rye bread? NZ Post would like 20 LOTR fans, preferrably in costume, to lend some class to their official LOTR stamps launch. Also, news on the NZSO’s performance of Howard Shore’s FOTR music. [More]
Newline and the New Zealand post are having a stamp launch for the new LotR:Two Towers stamps at 5pm on 2 dec 2002 at Parliament buildings in Wellington. They have graciously invited 20 LotR fans to come to the launch, in costume if they’d like. If you are interested in being on of those 20, please RSVP as soon as possible to stamplaunch@frodosgirl.net to reserve a spot (you will be able to get into the launch only if your name is on the list). [Launches are an attractive source of nice wine and nibbly cheesy things and yummy bits of salmon, in my experience, so if that sounds like fun and you also like the idea of meeting some other LOTR fans, by all means sign up for this! – Tehanu]
