AutoCAD 2007 for $130 only!!

This morning as I was sifting through my usual share of spam, one particular email caught my attention. I followed the link in the email and reached a “company” offering AutoCAD 2007 for $130 ($129.95 to be precise). Nothing new. What amused me was what they said about themselves on their about page.

To add insult to injury the email came from cbowers (at) jesuschristpage (dot) com. The pirates couldn’t have hijacked a better domain for their email bombardment compaign. I visited jesuschristpage.com. As I read these words from the home page the irony of it all came to light and I found myself smiling.

Jesus Christ Loves Us… Although He never committed a sin, He did associate with sinners while He was here in the flesh. Today Jesus is still reaching out to imperfect people, because He loves us too much to leave us hopeless.

Compliments of the season to one and all.
