I know, I know.... ;-) I have to say, though, reading yet another "forward this message to get $1000 from Bill Gates for testing my new email forward tracking program", that I really miss the Good Times virus. The poor cheap imitations I've been receiving lately tend to be boring, bland, and so obviously false. However, in my ardour against the beast, I seem to have failed to realize its genius and creativity, and never actually saved a copy of it... A quick check of the web revealed only a modernized copy (http://www-students.biola.edu/~dougw/GoodTimes/goodtimes.html), not the fresh pioneer-spirit warning I remember from the days of yore. Does anyone happen to have an older, sexier version hanging around? I think that the one cited really loses its magic as soon as it mentions America Online, in the first paragraph, of all places. I want one from before the days of AOL, from before the Internet was so large it needed to be mentioned almost every paragraph, from the days when an n-th complexity infinite binary loop actually melted your processor. :) Gosh, I'm only 18, but I feel so old. :-) OTOH, I think jkh mentioned once that he's been reading news since before I was born. That's scary. :) -- tIM...HOEk OPTIMIZATION: the process of using many one-letter variables names hoping that the resultant code will run faster.
