:-) Subject: The Computer Swallowed Grandma

The computer swallowed grandma.

Yes, honestly its true.

She pressed 'control' and 'enter'

And disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely,

The thought just makes me squirm.

She must have caught a virus

Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin

And files of every kind;

I've even used the Internet,

But nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked Jeeves

My searches to refine.

The reply from him was negative,

Not a thing was found 'online.'

So, if inside your 'Inbox,'

My Grandma you should see,

Please 'Copy,''Scan' and 'Paste' her

And send her back to me!

This is a tribute to all the Grandmas who have been fearless and learned to use the computer........

They are the greatest!!!

Afterthought:

I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson!" – Mike Tyson

-COMPUTING TIP-

Gmail for Everyone

As Google is saying, "it's a Gmail party and everyone is invited!" Ever since Google introduced the Gmail e-mail program to the public back in 2004, it has been an invitation only service. This meant that you either had to be invited by someone who was already using it or you could sign up using your mobile phone. If you wanted an account, you could give them your phone number and they would text message you a code and "invite" you to create an account. What a pain!

Well, all of that is over now. On Wednesday February 14, 2007, Google announced that anybody and everybody can now get a Gmail account, no invitation required. Signing up for Gmail is now as easy as creating an account with, say, Hotmail or Yahoo! All you have to do is visit mail.google.com and create an account. You'll just need to fill in a couple pieces of information, agree to their terms and click on the "I accept. Create my account" button. You'll then be all set.

With your Gmail account, you will have a whole 2 GB of space for your e-mails. You can also use Gmail to chat with other users, so be sure to tell all of your friends about this new and exciting discovery. One more thing: if you use Outlook Express or another desktop e-mail client, you can still get your Gmail messages through that. Everything's covered here! So, either way you look at it, this is a great deal and now that everyone can take advantage of it, maybe you should too. Check it out!
