     I'd be willing to bet that this message is a post April Fools joke.
Notice the P.O. box #  (80186).  I thought at first that it was kind of
cute that an amiga users group has a P.O. box number that is the same as
the part number of an Intel processor.  Then I thought, 'Wait a minute,
that number is kinda large to be a P.O. box number!'  Then I looked closer
and noticed that the last 5 digits of the zip code is - you guessed it -
80186.  Sounds too convienient to me.

To whoever sent this message:
	Ha, Ha!  I found you out the day it was posted, and within 2 minutes
as well.
