GUYS, THIS IS A HOAX. IT'S A VERY OLD HOAX.
We geeks knew it from the lame story about needing an old copy of Unix. The parts about the computer chips are as stupid as telling you that in 3
days someone was going to send out an EMP pulse that would kill all the cars on the planet and therefore we need to go to ancient Rome to get some
chariot wheels because humans won't know how to make wheels.
Really. It's that stupid.
The "details" he gives are from a fairly well known science fiction book (he stole his "future history".)
His knowledge of physics and math is poor; no better than a college freshman. He's a teenage hoaxer... and honestly, I thought everyone knew this by
now.
(edited to add: Oh, I see he's still using Earthlink (it's fun to be da geek. Yes, I have a capture showing where he came from awhile ago and his
new domain shows that his daddy's still paying for his connection.) I wonder when he'll finally get off his rear end and get a real job. I wonder
if he's ever going to actually be able to pass Calculus. I suspect he still can't pass it.)
