    Microsoft Reader

    Microsoft Reader was a Microsoft application for the reading of e-books, originally released in August 2000.

    Microsoft Reader was available for download from Microsoft as a free application for computers running Windows. It can also be used on a Pocket PC, where it has been built into the ROM since Windows CE 3.0. Microsoft Reader was not supported on newer Windows Phone 7 devices, but it was compatible with Windows Mobile.

    Microsoft Reader displays books in the .LIT (shortened from "literature") format, an extension of the Microsoft Compressed HTML Help format to include DRM. These e-books can be purchased and downloaded from online stores.

    The notable features of Microsoft Reader are ClearType for increased readability on small screens, highlighting and doodling designed for quick note-taking, text notes, and searching. The PC version also has an optional plugin for text-to-speech, enabling books to be read out loud.

    In August 2011, Microsoft announced they were discontinuing both Microsoft Reader and the use of the .lit format for ebooks at the end of August 2012, and ending sales of the format on November 8, 2011.

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    You Did It

    by: Necro

    (Sample: Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire")
    "Ayatollolah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan
    Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide..."
    (Verse 1: Necro)
    You wanna die intentionally due to your masochist nature
    You're impatient; death comes eventually
    But you want instant gratification
    Suicide's been attempted; you're not alive if you meant it
    And if you survive you'll be labeled demented
    And sent to somewhere expensive
    Where they'll keep you stable with narcotics
    Strapped to a table in a place full of psychotics
    Locked in a rubber room unable to bash your skull
    Or hang yourself with a cable
    It's ironic like a fable
    Depression has infected you, you're under the impression
    It's best to put a Tech to your neck
    And apply pressure to the trigger mechanism
    Now you figure it's less of a prison on the other side
    Once you've died you can't come back if it isn't
    The unknown; the afterlife, and where we go after we die
    To find out before it's your time, you'd have to sacrifice
    Like Japanese pilots did for their cause
    Believing there's something beautiful to balance the violent shit
    (Chorus: repeat 2X)
    You did it! (Son, you did it!)
    You put the gun into your mouth and blasted yourself
    And that's it, kid
    You can't come back
    You regret it, but you're deaded
    You committed a suicide, and your whole head is shredded
    (Verse 2: Necro)
    Drinking cyanide? Choose a beverage
    Use a rod to tighten the loop of rope around your neck
    Just use some leverage
    Asphyxiation, brain hemmorhage
    Chopped in half by a band saw
    Take a second from life to stop and laugh
    I can't imagine the pain you feel
    You're not a coward; you're brave
    You allowed your head to be decapitated by a train wheel
    Razor to the throat, methamphetamine ducts
    Suicide epilogue, end of scene, cut
    You can jump in front of a truck and be a corpse in the street
    And try to go out dramatically like Natalie Portman in "Heat"
    Seven days underwater at 20 degrees Celcius
    Overdosage of barbituates, takin' a shit, like Elvis
    Found in your underwear with a gun in your hand
    And a suicide note next to you, hoping we'd understand
    If you've got a problem, suicide will solve it
    Check out the hook; Budd Dwyer with a revolver
    (Chorus)
    (Sample: Budd Dwyer's suicide at a press speech)
    Dwyer: (stuttering) "When I..."
    (Dwyer removes a revolver from a manilla envelope, crowd panics)
    Dwyer: "This will only take a moment."
    Crowd: "Budd, no, please, please! Don't shoot it! Don't shoot it!"
    Dwyer: "Stay back, don't, don't! This will hurt someone!"
    (Dwyer puts the barrel of the revolver into his mouth and fires upwards into his skull)
    Crowd: "No, oh my fucking god! Oh my god! (crying) Oh, shit, no!"
    Crowd: "Alright, settle down! Don't panic, don't panic. Someone call a doctor!
