    Anonymous I’d like to share an inspiring story with you and your readers…

    Many years ago, a jobless man applied for the position of janitor at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed.” He said.” Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.” The man replied “But I don’t have a computer or email address.”
    I’m sorry”, said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And if you don’t even exist, you cannot have the job”. The man shook his head in sadness and left.

    He didn’t know what to do. With only $10 in his pocket he then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he had sold off every tomato and doubled his capital. He repeated that three times that day went home with $60. The man suddenly felt that he could actually make a living this way and decided to sell his tomatoes earlier daily, and return late. Soon, his money doubled or tripled every day.

    Soon, he bought a cart, then a truck, and a few years on, he even had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. He went on to become one of the biggest food retailers in the US.

    Being wealthy now, he needed to plan his family’s wealth, and decided on an insurance plan.
    He called an insurance broker, and chose a wealth protection plan. After the deal was concluded, the broker asked him for his email so that he could provide him with other insurance schemes that might be of interest. The man replied, “I don’t have an email”. The broker answered curiously, “Wow! You don’t have an email, and yet have built such a successful business empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!”

    The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be a janitor at Microsoft!”

    Moral of the story:
    The internet is not the only tool to a rewarding future. Without it, you too can be a millionaire.

    Anonymous And here are some computer terms about women. Enjoy...

    HARD-DISK Woman
    She remembers everything, FOREVER.

    RAM Woman
    She forgets about you, the moment you turn her off.

    WINDOWS Woman
    Everyone knows that she can’t do a thing right, but no one can live without her.

    SCREENSAVER Woman
    She is good for nothing but at least she is fun!

    INTERNET Woman
    Difficult to access

    SERVER Woman
    Always busy when you need her.

    MULTIMEDIA Woman
    She makes horrible things look beautiful.

    CD-ROM Woman
    She is always faster and faster.

    E-MAIL Woman
    Every ten things she says, eight are nonsense.

    VIRUS Woman
    Also known as “WIFE”; when you are not expecting her, she comes, installs herself and uses all your resources. If you try to uninstall her you will lose something, and worse, if you don’t try to uninstall her you will lose everything …
