A man loved a girl studies computer science/engineer.
he sent a letter saying :

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY COMPUTER
Believe me it is true...

You installed the best in me.
Your picture is always in my background.
You clicked my heart gently.
You drive me crazy when I see you.
Your love reset my life and deleted all the sadness in
me.
You restored my kindness after I thought it was
corrupted.
I'm always connected to you with more than 56 heart
beat per second.
You hacked my brain and registered your name in it.
You are the only one that could navigate my feelings
and explore my emotions at the same time.
I feel lost when I try to call you and you are not
responding.
I always feel you close to me when I shut down my
eyes, or when I open my windows waiting for you to
pass.
You are the only one that can log into my heart and
never log out.
I dream of being your only serveras long as I live.
You don't have to search for me,cause we are always
linked to
each others.
I see your name everywhere, my FrontPage, my homepage
and all my software.
I scanned my life and found that I'm only infected by
you.
You are the virus I'd never remove, and why should I
do?.
You formatted my life and added happiness to view.
Believe me it is true...
I love you more than my CPU.

other AOL car cell phones.

12. AOL would pass a new car law forbidding AOL car owners from driving
near other car dealerships.

13. AOL car mechanics would have no experience in car repair.

14. Younger AOL car drivers would be able to make other peoples AOL cars
stall just for fun.

15. It would not be possible to upgrade your AOL car stereo.

cars have them.

21. Every time you close the door on the AOL car it would say, "good-Bye."

If Architects Worked Like Programmers...
...Here is How the Request Would Be:


Dear Architect:

Please design and build a house for me. I am not quite sure what I need,
so
please use your discretion. My house should have between two and 45
bedrooms. Make sure the plans are such that bedrooms can easily be added
or
deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final
decision on what I want. Also, bring me the cost breakdown for each
configuration so I can arbitrarily pick one.

Keep in mind that the house I ultimately choose must cost less than the
one
I am currently living in. Make sure, however, that you correct all the
deficiencies that exist in my current house (the floor of my kitchen
vibrates when I walk across it and the walls don't have nearly enough
insulation).

As you design, also keep in mind that I want to keep yearly maintenance
costs as low as possible. This should mean the incorporation of
extra-cost
features like aluminum, vinyl or composite siding. (If you choose not to
specify aluminum, be prepared to explain your decision in detail.)

Please take care that modern design practices and the latest materials
are
used in construction of the house, as I want it to be a showplace for the
most up-to-date ideas and methods. Be aware, however, that the kitchen
should be designed to accommodate, among other things, my 1952 Gibson
refrigerator.

To ensure you are building the correct house for our entire family, make
certain you contact each of our children and also our in-laws. My
mother-in-law will have very strong feelings about how the house should
be
designed, since she visits us at least once a year. Make sure you weigh
all
of these options carefully and come to the right decision. I, however,
retain the right to overrule any choices you make.

Please don't bother me with small details right now. Your job is to
develop
the overall plans for the house; get the big picture. At this time, for
example, it is not appropriate to choose the color of the carpet.
However,
keep in mind that my wife likes blue.

Also, do not worry at this time about acquiring the resources to build
the
house itself. Your first priority is to develop detailed plans and
specifications. Once I approve these plans, however, I would expect the
house to be under roof within 48 hours.

While you are designing this house specifically for me, keep in mind that
sooner or later I will have to sell it to someone else. Therefore, it
should appeal to a wide variety of potential buyers. Make sure before you
finalize the plans that there is a consensus of the population in my area
that they like the features of this house. I suggest you run up and look
at
my neighbor's house he built last year. We like it a great deal. It has
many features we would also like in our new home, particularly the
75-foot
swimming pool. With careful engineering, I believe you can design this
into
our new house without impacting the final cost.

Please prepare a complete set of blueprints. It is not necessary at this
time to do the real design, since these blueprints will be used only for
construction bids. Be advised, however, that you will be held accountable
for any increase in construction costs as a result of later design
changes.
You must be thrilled to be working on as interesting a project as this!
To
be able to use the latest techniques and materials, and to be given such
freedom in your designs is something that can't happen very often.
Contact
me as soon as possible with your complete ideas and plans.

PS: My wife just told me she disagrees with many of the instructions I've
given you in this letter. As architect, it is your responsibility to
resolve these differences. I have tried in the past and have been unable
to
accomplish this. If you can't handle this responsibility, I will have to
find another architect.

PPS: Perhaps what I need is not a house at all, but a travel trailer.
Please advise me as soon as possible if this is the case.

HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "I got in my car and closed the door, and nothinghappened!"
HELPLINE: "Did you put the key in the ignition slot and turn it?"
CUSTOMER: "What's an ignition?"
HELPLINE: "It's a starter motor that draws current from your
battery and turns over the engine."
CUSTOMER: "Ignition? Motor? Battery? Engine? How come I have to
know all of these technical terms just to use my car?"
===============================================================
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "My car ran fine for a week, and now it won't goanywhere!"
HELPLINE: "Is the gas tank empty?"CUSTOMER: "Huh? How do I know?"
HELPLINE: "There's a little guage on the front panel, with a
needle, and markings from 'E' to 'F.' Where is the needlepointing?"
CUSTOMER: "It's pointing to 'E.' What does that mean?"
HELPLINE: "It means that you have to visit a gasoline vendor, and
purchase some more gasoline. You can install it yourself, or pay
the vendor to install it for you."
CUSTOMER: "What!? I paid $12,000 for this car! Now you tell me
that I have to keep buying more components? I want a car that
comes with everything built in!"
===============================================================
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "Your car sucks!"HELPLINE: "What's wrong?"
CUSTOMER: "It crashed, that's what went wrong!"HELPLINE: "What were you
doing?"
CUSTOMER: "I wanted to run faster, so I pushed the accelerator
pedal all the way to the floor. It worked for a while, and then
it crashed -- and now it won't start!"
HELPLINE: "It's your responsibility if you misuse the product.
What do you expect us to do about it?"
CUSTOMER: "I want you to send me one of the latest versions that
doesn't crash anymore!"
===============================================================
HELPLINE: "General Motors Helpline, how can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "Hi! I just bought my first car, and I chose your car
because it has automatic transmission, cruise control, power
steering, power brakes, and power door locks."
HELPLINE: "Thanks for buying our car. How can I help you?"
CUSTOMER: "How do I work it?"HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"
CUSTOMER: "Do I know how to what?"HELPLINE: "Do you know how to drive?"
CUSTOMER: "I'm not a technical person! I just want to go placesin my
car!"

Customer: Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready to install it now. What do I do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART, ma'am?
Customer: Yes, I have, but there are several other programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running, ma'am?
Customer: Let's see... I have PAST-HURT.EXE, LOW-ESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and RESENTMENT.COM running now.
Tech Support: No problem. LOVE will gradually erase PAST-HURT.EXE from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE will eventually overwrite LOW-ESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGH-ESTEEM.EXE. However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off, ma'am?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many times as necessary until it's erased the programs you don't want.
Customer: Okay, now LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART. Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes, I do. Is it completely installed?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other HEARTs in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops. I have an error message already. What should I do?
Tech Support: What does the message say?
Customer: It says "ERROR 412-PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS." What does that mean?
Tech Support: Don't worry, ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to run on external HEARTs but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated programming things, but in non-technical terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine before it can "LOVE" others.
Customer: So what should I do?
Tech Support: Can you pull down the directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?
Customer: Yes, I have it.
Tech Support: Excellent. You're getting good at this. Now, click on the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART" directory: FORGIVE-SELF.DOC, REALIZE-WORTH.TXT, and ACKNOWLEDGE-LIMITATIONS.DOC. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need to delete SELF-CRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with new files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my monitor right now and it shows that PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are copying themselves all over my HEART. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded at the proper time. So, LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it from here. Ah, one more thing.
Customer: Yes?
Tech Support: LOVE is freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everybody you meet. They will in turn share it with other people and they will return some similarly cool modules back to you.
Customer: I will! Thanks for your help!

An International View of Y2K

Most widely used calendars will not have any problem next year.

In many countries, next year will be 1420. When the new year starts in each
of those countries will depend on where that country is relative to the
International Lunar Date Lines, or on actual observation of the phase of the
moon.

In Israel the next year will be 5760.

In Thailand and many other countries it will be 2543.

In Ethiopia it will be 1991.

On Java it will be 1922. (Is your browser Java enabled?)

In India the number of the next year is manifold. For Jains alone, it will
be 2057 and 2527.

On Indonesian wall calendars each day's box has several date numbers and day
names. In Bali it is very important to know what day it is. There are
three cycles of weeks that run simultaneously: each day has a name from the
3 day week, another from the five day week, and one from the seven day week.
Together, the three names name the day. The year has 210 days.

Next year will be 89 on Taiwan.

Though its number will be 2000 on government forms, a recent survey showed
that almost half of the people in China, when asked, say:

Next year will be Dragon.

If Internet Companies Provided Cable Service


TV stations are starting to provide INTERNET access, but could you imagine
if INTERNET Service Providers were to provide CABLE?




All the most popular shows would just 'slow down' just because there were too
many people watching it at once.

The nudie channels would make you click your remote saying, "YES, I AM OLD
ENOUGH, LET ME SEE THE STUFF."

When you change channels, there'd be a 5 to 10 second wait with an hourglass
on the screen while the next channel is connected to. The more people watching
a show, the longer the hourglass stays there.

There'd be a "back" button on the remote so you can take another look at what
you just watched.

Sometimes your TV will complain it cannot "FIND" what you're looking for.

You'd be able to make your TV store the things you like, until it gets too full,
then you'd have to delete a few things.

There'd be an arrow on the screen blocking the view, and you'd have to slide
your remote control around on the coffee table just to change channels.

When you complain that you cannot connect your tv and get cable, or that the
Hourglass is just staying on the screen all the time, they'd say: "Well, were
busy now, that's the way it goes."

You'd be able to instantly be able to send messages to anyone else with a TV.
The downside of that is that ADVERTISERS would be able to instantly send
messages to everyone for free as well.

They would advertise, "All the TV you can watch for $20 a month!"

If you're having poor reception, the technical staff at the station would suggest
trying to reconnect again, turning your TV OFF and then ON again, Blaming the
problem on you, Getting you to re-program your TV, and then telling you that
your TV just isn't good enough and to buy one ten times as fast for about $3000.

New software for your TV will make it run slower and require hardware upgrades.

After about 1.5 years, your TV would be completely useless for watching, and
you'd have to go out and buy another TV for about $2500 dollars.

You'd have to hire a high school kid to help you set up and connect your TV.

They'd take one good COAX cable and split it up into 10000 smaller slower cables,
1 to each customer.

If you have 2 TV's, you'd be able to connect them and have your own Network.

The NEWS would be only 5% relevant, full of ads,and messages from people sending,
"me too" messages.

You could pay a lot for a TV now, or you could wait a few months for the price
to go down.


So I don't think I'll ever get cable from an Internet company... or buy a TV,...

Internet Virus Warning



******************************************************************
WARNING, CAUTION, DANGER, AND BEWARE!
Gullibility Virus Spreading over the Internet!
******************************************************************
WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Institute for the Investigation of Irregular
Internet Phenomena announced today that many Internet users are
becoming infected by a new virus that causes them to believe without
question every groundless story, legend, and dire warning that shows
up in their inbox or on their browser. The Gullibility Virus, as it
is called, apparently makes people believe and forward copies of silly
hoaxes relating to cookie recipes, e-mail viruses, taxes on modems, and
get-rich-quick schemes.

"These are not just readers of tabloids or people who buy lottery
tickets based on fortune cookie numbers", a spokesman said. "Most are
otherwise normal people, who would laugh at the same stories if told
to them by a stranger on a street corner". However, once these same
people become infected with the Gullibility Virus, they believe
anything they read on the Internet.

"My immunity to tall tales and bizarre claims is all gone", reported
one weeping victim. "I believe every warning message and sick child
story my friends forward to me, even though most of the messages are
anonymous."

Another victim, now in remission, added, "When I first heard about
Good Times, I just accepted it without question. After all, there
were dozens of other recipients on the mail header, so I thought the
virus must be true". It was a long time, the victim said, before she
could stand up at a Hoaxees Anonymous meeting and state, "My name is
Jane, and I've been hoaxed". Now, however, she is spreading the word.
"Challenge and check whatever you read," she says.

Internet users are urged to examine themselves for symptoms of the
virus, which include the following:
-- The willingness to believe improbable stories without thinking.
-- The urge to forward multiple copies of such stories to others.
-- A lack of desire to take three minutes to check to see if a story
is true.

T.C. is an example of someone recently infected. He told one reporter,
"I read on the Net that the major ingredient in almost all shampoos
makes your hair fall out, so I've stopped using shampoo".

When told about the Gullibility Virus, T. C. said he would stop
reading e-mail, so that he would not become infected.

Anyone with symptoms like these is urged to seek help immediately.
Experts recommend that at the first feelings of gullibility, Internet
users rush to their favorite search engine and look up the item
tempting them to thoughtless credence. Most hoaxes, legends, and tall
tales have been widely discussed and exposed by the Internet community.

Courses in critical thinking are also widely available, and
there is on-line help from many sources, including:

-- Department of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability at

http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.phpl

-- Symantec Anti Virus Research Center at

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/index.phpl

-- McAfee Associates Virus Hoax List at

http://www.urbanlegends.com

-- Urban Legends Reference Pages at

http://www.snopes.com

-- Datafellows Hoax Warnings at

http://www.Europe.Datafellows.com/news/hoax.php

Those people who are still symptom free can help inoculate themselves
against the Gullibility Virus by reading some good material on
evaluating sources, such as:

-- Evaluating Internet Research Sources at

http://www.sccu.edu/faculty/R_Harris/evalu8it.php

-- Evaluation of Information Sources at

http://www.vuw.ac.nz/~agsmith/evaln/evaln.php

-- Bibliography on Evaluating Internet Resources at

http://refserver.lib.vt.edu/libinst/critTHINK.php

It *is* possible to design responsible alerts for people to circulate
on the Internet. Here is a how-to that draws positive conclusions
from long experience with the evils of badly designed alerts:

-- Designing Effective Action Alerts for the Internet at

http://weber.ucsd.edu/~pagre/alerts.phpl

Lastly, as a public service, Internet users can help stamp out the
Gullibility Virus by sending copies of this message to anyone who
forwards them a hoax.
