Hi.  I was flipping through the back sections of one of my electronics
magazines when I saw these ads advertising "attractive asian ladies
who seek friendship, marriage..."  Could someone PLEASE tell me why
a company like that would advertise in an Electronics magazine?!?!
Has anyone ever answered these ads?!?!  This is something "consumer
reports" should definitely check out!!!

Go to a video store and rent "Revenge of the Nerds."

My wife wouldn't let me.

I'd love to see the price/performance, workmanship, and form/fit/function
sections of their review.

In Computer Shopper, these ads used to be listed under the 'Misc. Equipment'
category...

They wouldn't advertise if they didn't get business.  Maybe
the sterotype of the nerdy electronics guy has a ring of
truth to it...

Hi.   Can you guys reply to this newsgroup instead of sending me mail?
The mail I'm getting is very amusing and I'd like everyone to get a 
chance to read it!  What a refreshing change of pace from all of these
techie posts!!!!

This could be a scam at the other end. That is, collecting money from
women to
place such ads. I imagine the ads in COMPUTER SHOPPER and such are
cheap compared to BYTE.
