It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes, unintentionally with serious consequences.
Consider the case of an Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida.His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day.
When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had written her e-mail adress, he did his best to type it from memory.
Unfortunatly he missed one letter, and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher's wife, whose husband had passed away only the day before.
When the grieving widow checked her e-mail, she took one look at the monitor, let out a piercing scream and fell to the floor in a dead faint. At the sound, her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
." Dearest wife,
Just got checked in. Everything prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
P.S.: Sure is hot down here."

A husband & wife are getting all snugly in bed.The passion is heating up.But then the wife stops & says:"i don't feel like it. I just want you to hold me." The husband says:"What??!!!" The wife explains that he must not be in tune with her emotional needs as a woman. The husband realizes that nothing is going to happen tonight and he might as well deal with it. So, the nest day the husband takes her shopping at a big dpartment store.He walks around and let her try on 3 very expensive outfits.He then tells his wife:"they all look great, we'll buy all 3 of them." Then he goes over and gets matching shoes and then goes to the jewelry dpartment and gets a set of diamond earrings. The wife is so excited, and trying to take advantage of her husband's generous mood, she goes for the tennis bracelet. The husband says:"you don't even play tennis but if u really like it then let's get it. The wife is pratically jumping up & down with excitment.She says:"Okay, i'm ready to go, let's take all of this stuff to the register."
The husband says:"No-no-no-no-no, honey, we'r not going to buy all this stuff." The wife's face goes blank.
" No honey, I just want you to hold this stuff for a while." Her face gets really red and she's about to explode when the husband says: " you must not be in tune with my financial needs as a man."

Actual dialog of a former WordPerfect customer support employee:
."Ridge Hall computer assistant: may i help you?"
."Yes,well,i'm having trouble with WordPerfect"
."What sort of trouble?"
."Well, i was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
."Went away?"
."They disappeared."
."Hmm.So what does your screen look like now?"
."Nothing."
."Nothing??"
."It's blank; it won't accept anything when i type"
."Are u still in WordPerfect, or did u get out?"
."How do I tell??"
."Can u see the C:\ prompt on the screen?"
."What's a sea-prompt?"
." Never mind. Can u move the cursor around on the screen?"
."There isn't any cursor: i told you, it won't accept anything i type"
."Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
."What's a monitor?"
." It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when its on?"
."I don't know!"
."Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
.".........Yes, i think so."
."Great!Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
."........Yes it is."
."When u'r behind the monitor, did u notice that there were 2 cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
."No."
."Well, there are. I need u to look back there again and find the other cable."
.".......Okay,here it is"
."Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer"
."I can't reach"
. " Uh, huh. Well, can u see if it is?"
." No."
."Even if u maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
."Oh, it's not because i don't have the right angle! It's because it's dark."
." DARK??"
." Yes, the office light is off and the only light i've is coming in from the window."
."Well, turn on the office light then!"
."I can't."
." No? Why not?"
." Because there's a power outage."
."A power.....a power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do u still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
."Well, yes, i keep them in the closet."
." Goo!! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store u bought it from."
."Really?? Is it that bad?"
." Yes, i'm afraid it is "
."Well, all right then, i suppose. What do i tell them?"
." Tell them u'r too stupid to own a computer.":p
