I thought this was rather amusing... it's labeled as humor, so maybe people won't flame me for posting it... :) Jon Lasser ---------- Jon Lasser (410)494-3072 - Obscenity is a crutch for jlasser@rwd.goucher.edu inarticulate motherfuckers. http://www.goucher.edu/~jlasser/ Finger for PGP key (1024/EC001E4D) - Fuck the CDA. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 12 Mar 1996 09:47:27 -0800 From: FringeWare Daily <email@fringeware.com> Subject: SCHWA - New Web Search Engine!! Sent from: Troy.Sheets@Eng.Sun.COM (Troy Sheets) The Schwa Corperation, Global Media and Infomation Services is proud to present "Intrude", the search engine for the next century. Intrude is working 24 hours a day, sucking infomation and carefully indexing data from all four corners of the global infosphere. Sure, other search engines scan Usenet and mailing list archeives... but Intrude goes even further. Using the powerful parallel-processing supercomputer, "Pal 4000" (courtesy of Schwa Microsystems Computer Corperation), Intrude reads credit ratings, cable TV viewing habits, mail-order products received, videos rented, parking tickets received, and of course, every single peice of email transmitted over the Internet. Tired of those pesky PGP messages? They are no match for Pal's Reverse Escrow Orthoganal decryption software. But don't feel bad about knowing that everything you ever said online is now available to any crazy with a 14.4, all search querries on Intrude are logged also... so you can always Intrude the person Intruding on you. Try Intrude today, and see what juice facts it pulls up. You might learn things about yourself you never knew!
