Your Chance to Get Rich!

Your Chance to Get Rich!

[firth]

	FIVE YEARS AGO, I WAS BROKE, IN DEBT, AND DESPERATE!

	TODAY I HAVE A VILLA IN TUSCANY, A CHATEAU IN FRANCE,
	SIX VINTAGE AUTOMOBILES, A LARGE COLLECTION OF OLD
	MASTERS, AND A SEVEN-DIGIT ANNUAL INCOME!!

	YOU TOO CAN HAVE WEALTH, FORTUNE, SUCCESS, FAST CARS
	AND ALL YOU EVER DREAMED OF!!!

The simple secret: REUSE!  That it.  Minimal training, minimal
effort, nothing illegal.  My library of reusable Ada code is
the largest in the world, and I just sit back drinking my
own champaign, looking at my own Rembrandts (all eight of
them), and raking in the royalties.

Did you know, for instance, that a major international airport
(sorry - I'm not allowed to say who they are) is paying me
$10,000 PER DAY for my reusable baggage handling code? 
And when it works, that goes up to $25,000!  And that's
just one customer!!  Interested??

Well,  here's how YOU can do it too!  First, write 100 lines
of reusable Ada code.  Yes, you read that right - just
100 measly lines.  That's the last code you'll ever write
in your life.  It's the last work you'll ever have to do
in your life, because you're gonna be RICH!

Next, send those 100 lines to the name at the top of the
list below.

Now make ten copies of this message, but delete the first
name on the list and put your own name as last.  Send the
message to ten friends.  Or, if you don't have ten friends
(most Ada programmers don't), send them to ten random
readers of this newsgroup.

Within a couple of weeks, you will receive TEN MILLION LINES
of reusable Ada code, and you will be SET UP FOR LIFE!

DO IT TODAY! DO IT NOW!! THIS IS THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME!!!

I wonder if Mr. Ahoronian saw this.  Maybe it could have helped him out
in his reuse venture.

Robert: 

When I tried sending my 100 lines to the first address on the list, it
bounced.  I tried pinging each of the machines on the list, and got the
response "ping: host name missolonghi.hellas.ec NOT FOUND" (and
similarly for the other hosts on the list)--except for the third one,
from which I got no response at all.

Could you please verify that the addresses you posted are correct?

As for the third host, I fear that Turing's machine may have halted.
Is there any way to decide whether this is the case?

Similar strange things happened to me:
when I posted to Babbage, his assistant
(I remember her name something like A.Loughless?)
indicated to me, somehow time warped, 
that I may expect a reply only after next century.

Shouldn't the subject line for this thread be MAKE.SOFTWARE.FAST!?

In fact, Turing's machine has halted.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this result.  Unfortunately,
the bandwidth of this network is too small to contain it.
