Note however that Schneck's (I thought it was Schenck? - anyway, its freeware !
:)
program only runs on the 2XXX (tested on 2100 and 120 OS 2). It is written in
NSBasic so it should run on the 120 with tinkering and the source is available,
I just haven't gotten around to hacking at it, so little time...

What I love about spam is realizing how profitable emotional insecurity can be for those who think they're somehow sexually inadequate. I get spam all the time offering to enlarge my breasts and lengthen my penis. And all I can ask is: which first? At least I know once I decide I will have a profitable future as a TV model...
