   *** Attention ***
  The following is the English version of this message.

  It's that time again!

  As many of you know, each year the Internet must be shut down
for 24 hours in order to allow us to clean it. The cleaning process,
which eliminates dead email and inactive ftp, www and gopher sites,
allows for a better working and faster Internet.

  This year, the cleaning process will take place from 12:01 a.m.. GMT
on February 27 until 12:01 a.m. GMT on February 28 (the time least likely
to interfere with ongoing work). During that 24-hour period, five powerful
Internet search engines situated around the world will search the Internet
and delete any data that they find.


  In order to protect your valuable data from deletion we ask that you do
the following:

  1.   Disconnect all terminals and local area networks from their
Internet connections.

  2.   Shut down all Internet servers, or disconnect them from the
Internet.

  3.   Disconnect all disks and hardrives from any connections to the
Internet.

  4.   Refrain from connecting any computer to the Internet in any
way.

  We understand the inconvenience that this may cause some Internet users,
and we apologize. However, we are certain that any inconveniences will be
more than made up for by the increased speed and efficiency of the Internet,
once it has been cleared of electronic flotsam and jetsam.

  We thank you for your cooperation.

  Kim Dereksen
  Interconnected Network Maintenance staff,
  Main branch,
  Massachusetts Institute of Technology



  Sysops and others: Since the last Internet cleaning, the number of
  Internet users has grown dramatically. Please assist us in alerting
  the public of the upcoming Internet cleaning by posting this message
  where your users will be able to read it. Please pass this message
  on to other sysops and Internet users as well.

  Thank you.

And the day before that they will start smelling of soup whilst reciting
old Liza Minneli show tunes all the while shimmying across your desk in
the style of MC Hammer.

In addition, you must be wary of any viruses that result in the following

1) Turning your screen saver into screen captures from "Dream a Little
Dream"

2) Every time you sign off, your computer says "Dave...what are you
doing?my mind is goingI can feel itI can feel it"

3) Having your computer start running on "Windows 1895" where the monitor
must be lit with a kerosene lamp and all e-mail is conducted via the pony
express.

4) Your password is now "Joshua" and your computer continually asks "How
about a nice game of chess?"

5) Every time you try to play another round of  "Doom", you can only play
"Pong"

6) Your desktop theme is now the coveted "Menudo" theme.

Be on the lookout.
