Interlude!  I had almost forgotten!  Interlude was a program that would
query a man and a woman about their sexual interests; when finished, it
would suggest an Interlude number.  Most of the numbers referenced a
description in a booklet (I think this was because if memory limitations,
not copy protection).  "The Ultimate Interlude" was encoded in the program
and was only revealed to the truly kinky -- or so the ads claimed.  I recall
that the program was pretty popular and even got some attention from the
mainstream media.

I had a chance to flip through the booklet once.  It wasn't very interesting.
The only "Interlude" I remember suggested spending time brushing your
partner's hair -- hair brushing, it claimed, was very sensous.  Since I was
in high school at the time and hair-brushing was something I could actually
convince my girlfriend to do -- I decided that it must not be that fun; thus,
I lost interest in finding out anything more about "Interlude".

Of course, there could have been another ad with a sexy woman and a computer,
but I'd be surprised.
