Greetings,
I hope this note finds you in the best of health and spirits.
Extra, extra read all about it! My first stop for all the news that's fit
to print is a
COOL NEWS SITE - The Drudge Report
http://www.drudgereport.com/
Matt Drudge is an Internet muckraker in Hollywood who has never attended a
day of journalism school. But for several years he's made a name for
himself with the Drudge Report, an online newsletter of juicy political and
entertainment news. The site also contains many links to news sources.

ENTERTAINING SITE - Marilyn is Wrong!
http://www.wiskit.com/marilyn/marilyn.html
You have probably read the newspaper column, "Ask Marilyn", by Marilyn vos
Savant, who supposedly has the highest recorded IQ of any human. Herb
Weiner, a software engineer, has it in for Marilyn and he systematically
pores over her weekly column, searching for errors or discrepancies, which
he then posts to this site.

USEFUL SITE - Buying a cool car

Get the skinny on purchasing the used car of your dreams. The site has
sections entitled, "Great Cars For $10,000 To $15,000" and "How To Find the
Perfect Used Car", as well as excellent links for additional information
once you find the car of your dreams.

A humorous take on the mother of all sites.

Speaking of humor, this found its way into my mailbox this week.
Never criticize a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. First of all
you'll be a mile away from him. Second of all, you'll have his shoes.

Pagoo is an Internet voice mailbox. Callers simply dial a toll-free number

Net Etiquette question of the week:
How do you handle people who constantly forward jokes to you (and a long
list of others) without so much as saying hello?
1. Say nothing and discard the emails without reading them.
2. Report them to the SPAM police.
3. Set your email filters to transfer their mail into the trash box.
4. Ask them to personalize all posts to you.
5. Say nothing, just grin and bear it.
Please share your thoughts with me. I will post the best comments in the
next newsletter.
