Gryphon Productions is proud to introduce:

The DOOM Packet Destroyer (DPD) v. 1.5
--------------------------------------

Major corporations throughout are having their networks brought to
their knees by the broadcast protocol ID Software's software product
DOOM uses for their interactive player mode.

With 16+ players using DOOM, we've benchmarked a 65% decreased in
network throughput. MIS departments, desperate for a solution, now
have one in DPD v. 1.5.

HOW IT WORKS
------------

For a Novell Network, DPD loads as a network loadable module (NLM)
and "sits" on the network, translating packing information. When
DOOM-packets are found, they are prompted "destroyed". DOOM players
are rendered useless in a matter of minutes.

Also, a router-based version of DPD is available which can be
installed on intelligent routers to seek and out and destroy DOOM
packets with little to no hassle.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
-------------------

"We were experiencing slow downs throughout the company. Products
were getting delayed, managers were getting fired, I was scared for
my job. DPD gave us a fighting chance."

- Mark Cosgrove, MIS, Intel

"I can't believe someone didn't think of this sooner. DPD is a god
send to MIS managers who want to regain control of their network."

- Allan Richie, MIS Manager, Microsoft

"No big deal. DOOM v. 1.2 has modem support, so we're just going to
play at home."

- Michael Spanfield, DOOM Player
Alliance

AVAILABILITY
------------

Version 1.5 of the DOOM Packet Destroyer is available for IMMEDIATE
release!

DPD (NLM Version).......................................$1499.99

Welcome to wonderfully facist american corporations. Also welcome to
the wonderful world of money-grubbing facists. If people are stupid enough
to play during work hours and get caught, they deserve to get fired. What
the hell is the problem, here? I can't believe that companies that big have
such a lack of control over what goes on in their companies so as they have
to pay $1500 to keep people from playing DOOM.

As a side note...no wonder MicroSloth products suck so badly...if all their
attention goes into playing DOOM and/or banning playing DOOM. How about
working out the bugs in the software you're selling?

Linux all the way!

I think the program can be done in no time at all.
you sure are making lots of money out of DooM, if there is a buyer.

you can even just remove their (person who play doom) floppy drives,
and clean up his hardrive. you sure have right to do that, don't you?

I hope that I have construed these evidences correctly as camoflauged smileys
and not the real thing.....
