Hi everyone. While we wait: Folks, I don't normally send out virus warnings, but this one is extremely serious. Please read very carefully and take care! If you receive an email entitled "Crazy Times" delete it immediately. Do not open it! Apparently this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, messes up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone autodial to call only your mother-in-law's number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer. It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company. Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton fuzz (be honest, you have some) to migrate behind your ears. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea. It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences. If the "Crazy Times" message is opened in a Windows 95 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will also refill your skimmed milk with whole milk. It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam. It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell like dill pickles.(Remember Brut 33 ?) It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few signs of infection. PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! Thanks to Bill Gates and a small child with kidney failure for sending that in. If you pass this to at least 5 friends within the next three minutes Bill will give the kid a free copy of Windows 98. Cheers, Zonadona

To answer your question, BRE-X was much worse then PYNG. At least we have evidence "within North America" that the FAST-1 exists and works !!! In the BRE-X case there was an "imaginary" product [ gold ] supposedly created by an old salt named DeGozman [ wrong spelling I know ] who liked to jump from military helicopters without a parachute [ or so the media was told ] but who is probably alive and well thanks to someone pulling a FAST-1. I think PYNG is rooted in much firmer [ ie. more believable ] facts. However, having a good product and being able to sell it are two different things. Sometimes it seems that while PYNG is trying to expand the foundations for future growth out into the real world beyond their Vancouver lab they seem to be hampered by finding themselves in swampy terrain surrounded by some kind of predators who continually slow down their progress [ not to mention the effect on keeping shareholders informed ]. I am reminded of the old phrase " Its hard to remember that the initial objective was to drain the swamp when you are up to your ass in alligators!". Of course, its possibly also true that PYNG management prefers NOT to talk to much about their current "alligator" problem ... after all it might scare investors away .... but then again you can say "no news is good news " for only so long.
