[geeks] Humor: This email could change your life!

[Ken Hansen]

Come on, be the first on your block to have an Ultra 2 pumping up your SETI at Home stats! 

You know, I usually don't read these kinds of ads, but something made me stop and reade this message, and was I glad I did - I used to crawl around on the floor, I wore a diaper, and could barely afford to feed myself - then, 37 years later, I read the note below, got my own Ultra 2, and it has changed my life. I currently am self-supporting, able to perambulate almost anywhere I want to, and only on rare occasions (typically moments of great excitement) do I wear a diaper. Please, do yourself a favor and read the note below, and decide to change your life fo rthe better. Do it now, you deserve it!

	The air will smell sweeter, food will taste better,
	women will swoon when you walk by, men will regard
	you as a man not to be reckoned with when you decide
	to stop playing around and get yourself a Sun Ultra
	2, the ultimate desktop machine (except for some
	faster ones that I don't happen to be selling right
	now). Call 1-800-Get-Ultr(a) today, and be the envy
	of folks you'll never meet!

Ha ha, have a good weekend all,

Ken

Honestly it is nothing more than the very odd factor driving my interest. No
thinking required.

pay for an Ultra 1-class machine with PCI slots... Wouldn't you rather
snatch up one of those low-cost Ultra 2's coming on the market now?
