Ummmm... I'm afraid I'm one of those irritating people whose first
computer was a pentium running Windows95. I uudecoded, unzipped and made
the terrifying trek into the dark screened white lettered Dos. The only
command that didn't indicate "bad command" was the "type" command and a
big mess of incomprehensible letters appeared that couldn't possibly in
any way be what the originator of the fireworks intended to be seen.

Too bad. I guess I'll stick with the Javascript version.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
