This is really OT, but I just thought it was so funny, I had to post it somewhere! Every know and then, I get these Nigerian scam letters that sneak through to my mailbox. In most cases, they are like this one in that Roadrunner has tagged it as spam or potentially virus bearing. Why they send me an e-mail to tell me that with the rest of the message is beyond me - just send it on to the junk heap, quarantine, whatever it is the RR servers do. But, back to the scam mail. Of course, everyone knows these things get recycled by different scammers with different "details". This one is a hoot though as it appears I have won the "MICROSOFT LOTTERY". Sorry to say, but I lost that lottery. Fortunately, I found Linux and whole host of other F/OSS and moved out of the loser's bracket (no comments from the peanut gallery please!).
So without further ado, enjoy the latest version! Jeff
