Newtek Core?

Did anyone else get an email from Newtek with a countdown and some rune style lettering, or do I only have 13 days left to live?

I wonder if that is an actual fake alphabet or just something that looks intentional

THESE people are sending viral emails - I speculate it's some upgrade to their 3d software products as it's got the 3d Head's email associated with it.

I'm cool with receiving viral emails. This one looks like the Transformers fonts mid-transform.

http://www.newtek.com/core

I think the middle word on the bottom is "TEN" ... ooh!

Update: poking around on their robots.txt, nothing special. Found the old (2003) discussion boards: http://www.newtek.com/discus/ as posted in a sticky here.

Maybe a new 3d visualization system?

Yeah I got the email too! Looks like fun when it arrives. Probably that LWX statement everyone is waiting on. A new training center perhaps?

Something big coming on February 4 at 3:00pm central I suppose. From Jay Roth, so I hope it is LW related...LW10 announcement?

Hope it includes a cheap upgrade path for me....my income is taking a beating this year..

No, the W has the same symbol as the I in what you think is the word "Lightwave". So I'm not sure that's even the word "Lightwave" encoded.
