>>>>>>[Hey, smartboys, look what I've found in the news :

< file included >

Today, at about 11h00 local time, a wild power surge has occured in the
European Business Machines complex. Starting with the security systems,
all electronical devices have suddenly stopped functioning due to a
1000% increase of power which occured nearly instantaneously. All sys-
-tems, included the whole computer grid, suffered a complete meltdown.

Engineers are at a loss to explain why such a power surge occured, and
why the built-in security systems didn't react until far too late. A
possible explanation is that the origin of the surge was located within
the EBM premises, taking the safeguards litterally "from the rear", but
no one can explain why such a phenomenon would occur in the first place.

The EBM administrators in Atlanta made no comments on this affair, but
talks are currently taking place between EBM and CAS oficials concer-
-ning the responsibilities in that accident.

Boys, when I told you that Turing meant business... They didn't even asked for
EBM authorization, didn't even send a note or warning. Just get in, melt it, and
get out. Things must be serious indeed.

Oh, to the one who made the Shield-6 and Attack-6 programs: kugas, man. Real
nice'n'useful piece of soft. I've tweaked it in some places, but the code is
written for easy and quick modifications. Nice work. I'm using it right now.
Will send you royalties for that later.

Sorry about not being here for the time being, but I'm going to Aztlan. There
are some things I'd like to check. This could prove interesting.

Oh, yeah, one last word : I've been able to grab a big chunk of Netwatch HK
code before breaking out. It's using some new and interesting twists in the
code, including a portion dedicated to hardware adaptation for maximum speed.
I'm downloading it, perhaps someone can use it.

OK. I'm off. Lotsa luck, guys.]<<<<<<
