If you use Firefox you can add BugMeNot to your search engine box which makes it even easier.
Even better, there is a BugMeNot extension. Once installed, all you have to do is right click the login box and select BugMeNot.
Matt-
Any idea where I could find that extension?
The Firefox BugMeNot extension is here. (it also works with Mozilla and Netscape too).
