An overdose of pasta last night caused me to come up with the
following. I suppose it could be developed a bit more, but
you get the idea. Enjoy.
Chain Letter
Fellow programmer, greetings! You are reading a letter which
will bring you luck and good fortune. Just make 10 copies of
this letter on diskettes to give to 10 of your friends.
Before you make the copies, send an IC or other bit of hardware, and
a small section of Pascal code to the first person on the
list given at the bottom of this letter. Then delete their
name and add yours to the bottom.
Don't break the chain! Make the copy within 48 hours. Gerald R.
of Tuscon failed to send out his 10 copies in time and woke
the next morning to find his harddisk reformatted. Fred A. of
New York sent out his 10 copies and within 3 weeks had enough
hardware and software to build a Cray dedicated to playing
Zaxxon and Zork. Martha H. of Chicago laughed at this letter
and broke the chain. Shortly thereafter, a fire destroyed her
PC XT in the middle of a text editing session and now she
spends her days trying to bring up 4.1bsd on a Sinclair.
Remember, send out 10 copies today!
