Yeah, the Dimensional Warp Generator email (cool name for a component, BTW). I got that one several times, always from German email addresses. I thought it was a joke (a funny one at that).

the 'Acme' tends to make me believe it's a big scam. for those of you who don't know, acme was a company that sold cheap gags. plus, in the cartoons i watched it had an unfailing ability to deliver weird gadgets to cartoon character's. although the gadgets themselves weren't always satisfactory.

I am under the impression that the reason the cartoon used the brand name ACME is because it was a command company name. There a still a whole heck of a lot of companies the ACME in their name. Check your phone book, I'll bet there are some in your own town.

The part about him being a time traveller from the future didn't tip you off, but when you saw "ACME" you knew it was bogus?
