November 1997 / Inbox / Improbable Products, or If We Had a Million

Man, I am sitting on an S.F.-to-Boston flight and cannot stop laughing. September's Improbable item about Stochastic Cleaner -- the program that "cleans your hard disk of al l the clutter that you probably don't need" -- is just great. Keep up the good work.

Many readers have written us to find out how they can actually buy the products covered in Improbable; for example, we received virtually millions of letters about Cyber Babewatch (August), including one from a clinic that dangled before us the possibility of real cash exp enditure. But until those fussy, ROI-obsessed venture capitalists start returning our calls, the items mentioned on the end page will have to remain on the drawing board in Marc Abraham's mind. -- Editors
