E-Mail Errors..

It's wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can
be misused, sometimes unintentionally, with serious consequences.


Consider the case of the 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
quicke-mail. Unable to find the scrap of paper on which he had
written her e-mail address, he did his best to type it in from
memory.


Unfortunately, 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.


PS. Sure is hot down here.
