pornography

Still or moving images, usually of women, in

varying states of nudity, posing or performing erotic acts

with men, women, animals or other props. Some say it degrades

women, some say it corrupts young boys (who down-load it from

{bulletin board systems} or exchange it on {floppy disks}).

Much of it is in the form of {GIF} images, or, increasingly

{JPEG} images. There are even pornographic games, an early

example being {Mac Playmate}.

Beware - many institutions, particularly universities, have

strict rules against their computers and networks being used

to transfer or store such things, and you might get corrupted.
