I remember my friend was working on a Shield/Reflect program. It would read for incoming punters/proggies, and if it detected any known ones, it would block it and return to sender. Don't know if he ever got it working...I think he left the 3.5" sitting on his HD one night and it got wiped.

Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.

How did those programs work exactly, gave them an internal error by constantly flashing the same message? I never got the chance to use one, I tried in 3.0 but none of them ever worked.Solid Snake wrote:Ahhh... those were the days. AOL 3.0, kicking people off the internet. Heh.
