Qnl oavneub! Ync'b snpve fda wfdaenl cf cqn tlsna jfayu. Are you surprised what is this? Well! This is an important feature of the cyber world and can prove to be useful. Anyways, if you are still wondering what this junk like message means, then let me unfold the mystery. This message reads " Hey friends! Let's begin our journey to the cyber world". This was our new way of welcoming you to the cyber world and also to introduce you to the interesting art of scrambling and unscrambling.

Cyber world is though an interesting yet a dangerous place. No, you do not need to be scared, as the cyber world does not have the blood shed and terrorism like we have in the real world. But the terror of hackers and message interceptors besides the virus attackers has made the cyber world a not so safe place.. But, there are ways and means of escaping these evils. One such way of escaping the menace of message interceptors and hackers is to scramble your message before sending. This is a good idea and does not require any special skills on your part. All you have to do is logon to site www.thunk.com/index.cgi and the rest would be done by this site. After logging on to this site, simply type your message in the message window and press the scramble button. This will scramble the message in such a way that ordinarily a person won't be able to unscramble it. You can send this message to any one and the recipient of this message will simply copy it in the message box and will have to press unscramble. And with in minutes he can get your original message. You can also use this idea in the real world also as the message on paper can also be unscrambled by typing in the message window.

The Website www.thunk.com/index.cgi is not just all about scrambling and unscrambling as you can find some other features like Funnies, goodies etc.

So, just log on to this site and have fun. — IV
