That's great - they won't be getting any customers via e-mail, will
they? I have read in news.admin or whaever it's called that their
internet link has been yanked as a result of this spam. There is some
justice.

Obhack: Right now my PC is going through some major changes, with a
new ASUS SP3G motherboard on the way to make FreeBSD run nicely (it has
a built-in SCSI (NCR 53C810) controller). After selling the old board
I have been running an old 286 with one floppy - it's enough to load
telix, but not much else. The noise from the fan really started to
bother me, so I dismantled it. After a good clean it was still a little
noisy, so I grabbed a scalpel and did some sculpting - removing all of the
rough edges and moulding imperfections has made a huge difference.
