		   THYME INCORPORATED INTRODUCES T-NET

Clavius, Antartica, March 12, 2011 -- Thyme Incorporated introduced
a new computer networking system yesterday.  The system, known as
T-Net, posseses a distinct advantage over the Wang and Digital nets,
because it has the ability to transfer large amounts of arbitrary
matter through time.  Using one co-axial cable, it can transfer an
average-sized office to any time within two thousand years -- in about
three minutes.  The system, which runs at 76839641962 baud, creates
a full specification of the matter to be transferred and then sends
it, atom by atom, over the wire.  Thyme has refused to say how the
time travel is achieved.  A Thyme spokesman said that the uses would
be incredible, stating that the raw materials to build the machine
came from a mine that they established in 3749.  He added that bus-
inessmen can now solve their problems before they happen and make
extremely accurate financial predictions.
