I found it interesting that when "software" is clicked, it brings up "multimedia" CDROMs, but no other software.

I also have WordPerfect 5.1 (3.4 Mb) and MS Word for DOS 5.5 (probably still on the MS web site but I have it as well). Let me know if you want any of them.

Dear Friend, Please do not be surprised to receive this mail from someone relatively unknown to you. I want you to know that this is no joke or a Spam generated message. I am DR.PAUL ANDERSON,EDOJA Area Manager FIRST BANK NIGERIA PLC ,Lagos Nigeria. I have urgent and very confidentialbusiness proposition for you. On June 6, 1997, a Foreign Oil consultant/contractor with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Barry Kelly made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$26,500,000.00, (Twenty-six Million,five hundred thousand Dollars) inmy branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, I sent a reminder and finally I discovered from his contract employers, the Shell Petroleum Development Company. (S P D .C) that Mr. Barry Kelly died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Barry Kelly did not>declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$26,500,000.00 has carefully been moved out of my bank to a security company for safe-keeping. No one will ever come forward to claim it.According to Nigerian Law,at the expiration of 5 (five) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim thefund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as an Foreigner to stand in as the owner of the money I deposited it in a security company in two trunk boxes though the security company does not know the contents of the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for export.I am writing you because I as a public servant can not operate a foreign account or have an account that is more than $100,000,I want to present you as the owner of the boxes in the security company so you can be able to claim them with the help of an attorney.All these are to make sure that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple. I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents which will put you in place as the owner of the boxes. The money will be moved out for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will guarantees the successful execution of thistransaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via my email address. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country.(Buying ofproperties like houses,hotels etc) Awaiting your urgent reply via my [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND feel free to call me on +234-1-7763205 Thanks and regards.

A friend was just approached by a "university student" who needed 3,000 USD to pay tuition or risk being deported. I told him that there are special people to assist in such cases - they're called the police. I guess it works enough to make money. Sort of a backward proof for evolutionary biology. If it wasn't reproductively successful, it would become extinct.

Hi Glenn, I haven't received any digests lately and Yahoo! doesn't seem to recognize the existence of arachne_ue. Was the list cancelled? Also, haven't seen any postings from you here on the arachne list lately and there doesn't seem to be much discussion of arachne itself. Is Michael going to ok an official release?
