Actually, the web piece was pretty cool, though I did have to consult a
walkthrough a couple of times (found in their forums).  :-(

Put the code into the main box, copy the key into the area that says key, ensure
that your decrypt program is set to Decrypt (default encrypt) and you'll get the
password.  That unlocks a "website" to get more information about individuals,
etc.

Somethings worth trying - reply to each e-mail and it will give you a blank to
fill in if appropriate.  That can be useful to get a hint of what you need to
do.

Also, watch out for overlapping windows - clicking on the visible window could
affect something beneath.

I thought it was neat - decent story and intro to a character in the main game.
