Hello

I hope this note finds you in the best of health and spirits......and without further adieu, I offer you, a

COOL TRICK!

When was the last time you were on the road, or at a friends' computer and wanted to get your email, and had to go and re-configure their email reader to get your mail. Has it happened to you?

A solution.....just remember CALLME.

You can now go to http://www.callme.com and put in your email username, password, and pop server and get all your mail. The best part of this is that you can read, reply and forward your mail and HAVE IT REMAIN ON THE SERVER, so that when you get back to your computer, all of the mail will be downloaded to it.

COOL - JUST PLAIN FUN

My cousin Paul Brownstein, (http://www.tvclassics.com) you may have seen his name on TV as he produces retro TV shows including American Bandstand and Midnight Special to name a few, has a interesting hobby.

Paul collects celebrity phone messages for his answering machine. That's right! When he meets a celebrity he doesn't ask for their autograph but instead points a small voice recorder at them and asks them to make a message for him.

You might call his house and hear Don Rickles say something like, "You have reached the house of Paul Brownstein, I don't know where the bum is, in fact I never liked him much myself".....etc. He has an amazing collection and most times I call, I hope he is not at home. <g>

He has Lily Tomlin, Dick Van Dyke, Bob Newhart, Sonny Bono (the late) and many more alternately answering his phone.

So if you want to be like him......by all means check out

THE ANSWERING MACHINE http://www.answeringmachine.co.uk/

Are you still using the default message that was supplied with your telephone answering machine? Do you want to amuse your callers? Then you have come to the right place! Here you will find the largest collection of answering machine messages available anywhere - all free to download and use!
