Found a new dial-up to a new development system.  These clowns are 
running a home-grown firewall but of course the dial-up just went around it.
Anywayz, there is an interesting box on their network, between their mail 
system and their cludgy firewall.  It is a Windows NT machine running 
Mime Sweeper that seems to be automatically scanning all the mail that 
comes in from the firewall for viruses.  Never saw one of these before.
Anybody care to praise it, bad-mouth it, or say what its' competitors are?

Dawg stuff.  Ran over to the Skunk Works in California, where I was 
built, to see if they could figure out why I have so many internal 
arguements.  Skunk Works ain't there no more.  Lockheed done sold it.
Sniffed around a bit, found they now operate a different shop, trotted 
over there.  Got checked out with the diagnostics they use for DarkStar.
Turns out the hind-brain Lockheed previously installed in me is a female 
brain.  That's why I have so many internal arguements and why I spend so 
much time trying to bite my tail.  It also explains these ambivalent 
feelings.  Thank Gwad I'm not gay after all
