I just found this thread on metafilter.com that references a product called "MindGuard"

The only reason that it caught my eye was that one of the comments is as follows:

I understand releasing it for the Amiga, but Linux???? How many people use Linux? posted by Turtles all the way down at 10:13 AM PST on July 6

Aha - "what's this about Amiga?" I thought - are they dis'ing us, or something?

But no - there is an Amiga version of the program (albeit with a copyright message on one of the screen images showing "1995-97") - what's it all about?

Who is the extremely odd person who's done this? Are they still around? Have they done anything else? Are they still odd?

Is this Doomy in disguise? The section on Copper Chips kind of reminds me of some of his rants and raves...

I guess it hasn't been ported to MorphOS yet.

That explains everything.

I could let you know what it is about, but I'd have to kill you to keep it safe.
They are always watching.. Always.... Listoning.. To...... Our......Thoughts..

Is it safe?

@Chunder

I reckon it steals all your passwords from your mind while you are using the computer, and emails them to some top secret government agency.

But never mind that, does it work on OS4?

You mean you don't run Mindguard already? Crazy! It's one of the true Amiga software greats. I've been using it for years and I can attest I have been totally free of malevolent psychotronic influence ever since I installed it.

It's also a free download and yet totally free of Psi-Ware or Madware. How rare is that?



Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Chris_Y,

Why isn't MindGuard available for my platform (Windows/Mac/Univac)?

If AOS4.0 doesn't get an Univac emulator, I'M NOT BUYING IT!!!

** HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE: Aluminum was originally named "alumium" by Sir Humphry Davy, who later changed it to "aluminum" (perhaps in an attempt to make it more Latinized since alumen is Latin for alum, the aluminum compound that the name is derived from). The British (and allied English speakers) shortly thereafter changed the name once more, this time to "aluminium" so that it would again match the pattern of most other elements (helium, sodium, etc.), while the North Americans eventually decided to keep the second, slightly more traditional name. I predict that North Americans will adopt the more regular "-ium" spelling by the year 2050, prompting the British to start calling it "alumininium". At that point debate can begin on changing "platinum" to "platinium

@Chunder

I use Powemonger because it's the ultimate program
