It's Carnival Time in Nürnberg, Germany...
Come November 11 at 11:11 am, SoftMaker Will Be Offering 1,111 copies
of TextMaker for US$11.11 Each!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Nuernberg, Germany -- November 8, 2003 -- Exactly on November 11 at
11:11 a.m. German time, the Carnival season starts in SoftMaker's
hometown of Nürnberg - world-famous in Germany for its festivities!

Rio de Janeiro, move over! Mardi Gras? Bah! We have carnival speeches, polonaise, weird dances and way too much beer. Other results of the festivities become apparent nine months later.

It is customary to do harebrained things on the day Carnival starts.
Following this rite, we will be offering 1,111 TextMaker packages for EUR 11.11 or US$11.11 each - your choice of TextMaker for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Pocket PCs, or Handheld PCs.

This offer is valid exactly one day, which is about as long as we need to come to our senses again.

However: Carnival hasn't yet begun in Nürnberg, Germany. The date to
remember is November 11, and the time is 11:11 a.m. German local time. In the meantime, visit SoftMaker's homepage to see the countdown.

I order TextMaker on November 11 and have not yet recieved the download information. I used a credit card and the confirming email promised a response within 24 hours. I noticed that the web site is down tonight. Did I get ripped off?

Don't Panic!
