TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THIS MAILING LIST
   Send an e-mail message to:
          armchair-request@maillist.il.fontys.nl
with the word
          unsubscribe
in the message body. Please DO NOT POST UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST
ITSELF! If you are having trouble, send mail to
          owner-armchair@maillist.il.fontys.nl
and I will try to help you. To change your address, first unsub yourself from
your old address, then subscribe using your new account.

SCHOOL'S OUT FOR {SUMMER | EVER}!!
   If the above statement applies to you, be sure to unsubscribe from
the Armchair if you will not have access to your e-mail account over the
summer. Otherwise, your mailbox will fill up and the system administrator
at your school will be one angry dwarf...
   Accordingly, very soon I will begin purging the mailing list of any
address that bounces for any reason (e.g., too many hops, mailbox full,
no route to host), not just 'user unknown'. If you find yourself
unsubscribed, this is probably the reason.

THANKS A THOUSAND
   With the passage of 1,000 issues of the Armchair I'd like to thank
everyone for their contributions to the success of the list. We have a great
group of fans and the band is very appreciative of your support.

Subject: video killed the radio star

Lavish rewards will be heaped upon anyone who can provide me with a
*pristine* copy of the boys doing this fine Buggles tune.  I have a copy
from a WNEW broadcast that is only OK quality-wise.  I would like to find a
clean copy - especially if anyone has the version they had submitted for
inclusion on the "One Hit Wonders" compilation.

Thanks in advance,
=) Lance

I have a good copy but not the one that they submitted for the compilation.
btw...I don't remember the "One Hit Wonders" compilation, when did it come out?

Our company is on track to be the FASTEST growing  in this industry EVER!!  Our company has grown by 20% every month for the last few months.  Some people sign up right on the spot without even getting more information.  
Thousands are joining every month!!

The company has been featured in:

Money Maker Magazine as:
"THE HOTTEST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY OF THE CENTURY"

"COMPANY OF THE MONTH"

To quote the owner of Network Opportunity Magazine:
"Every company that graces the cover of this magazine experiences growth like
   you would never believe"

By getting involved now, YOU can be positioned to benefit from this tremendous growth!

Why?  Because of our revolutionary process, unheard of before in MLM, is specifically designed so that EVERYONE takes full advantage of the tremendous 'MOMENTUM' growth, not just the "Heavy Hitters."  This High-Tech System is so powerful that it enables the average person who has never earned more than a few hundred dollars to finally profit at least an average of $600-$2000 per month within their first few months! 

But that's not all thats expected to affect your growth.  Our company has a strategic relationship with Radio Network and has begun a new 300 station radio blitz.  The first seven days generated over 1,000 new interested prospects.  

And things don't stop there!  With more than 1.6 Million people visiting our main homepage,  300,000 post cards mailed monthly,  over 170,000 full color newspaper-style brochures mailed, and numerous national advertising in the hottest network marketing magazines all to benefit you and your downline.  Is there any doubt in your mind that this opportunity is for you!!

Imagine making this kind of money without doing any work except joining!!

The feature articles have been released, the radio commercials are now being aired, WE ARE TAKING OFF!!  In twelve months time we anticipate over 100,000 people involved, and right now there are under 7000.  Now's your chance to be distributor #7001, instead of 70,001.  Image a downline of thousands!!  You'll never have to work another day again!!

REMEMBER, your downline is built for you by the efforts of seasoned network marketers and heavy hitters, so you never have to do a single thing.

"If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting."  Most of us keep wishing for a better life.  We wonder why others prosper when we don't.  We keep waiting for that next promotion or that big chance at our jobs.  But we don't seem  to get it, "If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting."  Are you satisfied with that?  Since you've taken the time to read this far, I know you are NOT satisfied!!  

So now what?  Live the rest of your life like this anyway? Too much risk?  What If...?  Are you simply too skeptical about network marketing?

I don't blame you.  You should be!  I've seen many of the programs you have seen. I was on exactly the same boat.  But believe me, this program WILL WORK FOR YOU.   It's a can't miss!!

Subject: Feztival Tickets

Hey Chair People,

I have 2 tickets available for the Sold Out Y-100 Feztival this Friday, May
29th, at the E-Center in scenic Camden, NJ.  The tickets are section 205,
Row G.  These are seats in the Pavilion, and the forecast is for rain.  In
addition to BFF, the show features 17 bands, including Green Day, Mighty
Mighty Bosstones, Cornershop, Fastball, etc.

I'm selling the tickets for exactly what I paid for them, which is $28.50
plus $4.25 "Convenience Charge" to Ticketmaster.

E-mail me off the list if you are interested.

Maria

Subject: New MP3 Archive

This is a pet project of mine BTW--I want to put up BFF mp3's with a
vengeance...
Unfortunately, my page is on GeoCities, so I only have 6 MB. 
Anyway, starting soon I'm going to put up two new MP3's every week and rotate
them. If you have any preferences as to the first ones, email me and I'll see
what I can do. The site will be up by late June to allow for final exams I
hope. The URL:

http://drlove.home.ml.org

It's a piece of crap now, but it will rock in the future. All new BFF content,
too.
