I am also cleaning For a nominal fee (=Rs.{no. of MB freed}) I will compress any account as much as it can compress :) To give an idea of what I can do, once I compressed Anubhav's account from 139MB to 93 MB in about 15 minutes. Anyone interested in this service - just send me your passwd by email or catch me when I'm here. Only the 1st 3 customers get this special rate :) Bye, Deepak. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From debug@poboxes.com Wed Dec 22 10:05:43 1999 Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 14:39:22 +0530 (IST) From: Deepak Bandyopadhyay To: Santosh Gupta Subject: Re: Debug's compressor service On Sat, 17 Jul 1999, Santosh Gupta wrote: > Hi bando, > ThanX for the "shareware job" that u did for me . > If we meet some time then you will get your treat (cold drink). > santosh Now for a few laughs... this original article (c) Deepak B., July 1999. "Shareware Nag Message" We are glad you tried "Debug's compressor service" shareware version (henceforth referred to as the PRODUCT), and liked it, and now that you have seen the potential of the full licensed version of the PRODUCT, you should REGISTER it. This will also give you an excuse to treat your good friend who created the PRODUCT (henceforth referred to as the CREATOR)... on behalf of the CREATOR, we urge you to avail of this amazing initial offer and enjoy the freedom of a lean, mean and clean account... please do get in touch with us and register yourself offline (online registration of the PRODUCT is not possible as yet, however the CREATOR is working on a prototype Wire-a-Coke system to be released soon). We are giving you the generous time of 14 DAYS in which you can register and receive the FULLY LICENSED version of the PRODUCT immediately. We think (and the CREATOR concurs) that this is a reasonable time in which you can come to the decision to do the right thing and buy this great PRODUCT. If, however, you have an itch on your behind or some equally inane reason why you cannot register in 14 days, or you are just so plain dumb that this is an offer you cannot understand, or (heavens above!) you really, actually, HONEST don't want to register, at the end of 14 days we will do you a favor and give you the SUPER-DUPER version of the product for free. Lets just say that this version will do what the regular version does, only much more efficiently (Newspace=Oldspace*(1-eta) is the formula, where eta=100% for the SUPER-DUPER version of the PRODUCT). The Marketing Team and the CREATOR sml prnt - f fr sm rsn y dnt wnt the spr dpr vsn, b sr t chg yr pswd bfr ftn ds r p. W r nt lbl f y fgt. btw the small print is tough to read, just the way it should be, isn't it ;) Bye, Deepak. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
