Well, I was reading an old computer shopper, and one of the articles
mentioned the Zip Chip.  Now, it seems this guy looked up all the people
that are in the add.  They don't seem to exist.  You know:  John Doe of
Santa Clara says "I can't believe it works so well!" -- except there's no
listing for john doe in santa clara. . .

Perhaps I was too trusting of them (though I did not buy one. . . :-)
