    Got it in the mail and thought I'd share it with you guys. Apologies if it's a repost. I fell only for #15 and #16 (honest). This is a mail about the thing that happens nowadays... see the mechanical life around us & about us. Living in 2003 You know you're living in 2003 when.... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail your mate who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses (even then it's difficult). 6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner. 7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" to get an outside line. 8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news. 11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job. 12. Contractors out number permanent staff and more likely to get long-service awards. AND THE REAL CLINCHERS ARE.... 13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling. 14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends". 15. You are too busy to notice that point no. 9 is missing in the list. 16. You actually scrolled back up to check that really there wasn't a No.9 above. Even if 60% is true to you, 2003 has carried you away....... Vikram.

I often send him instant messages when he's listening to his favorite metal music from a MD Walkman, so loud that I can hear it from his headphones as if it was playing on a stereo system. :sigh: (I hate that kind of music) I also e-mail myself sometimes with short notes to remember, or when I need to transfer something to my home pc :) rado
