IF I WERE THE DEVIL by Paul Harvey
"I would gain control of the most powerful nation in the world; I would delude their minds into thinking that they had come from man's effort, instead of God's blessings; I would promote an attitude of loving things and using people, instead of the other way around; I would dupe entire states into relying on gambling for their state revenue; I would convince people that character is not an issue when it comes to leadership; I would make it legal to take the life of unborn babies; I would make it socially acceptable to take one's own life, and invent machines to make it convenient; I would cheapen human life as much as possible so that the life of animals are valued more that human beings; I would take God out of the schools, where even the mention of His name was grounds for a law suit; I would come up with drugs that sedate the mind and target the young, and I would get sports heroes to advertise them; I would get control of the media, so that every night I could pollute the mind of every family member for my agenda; I would attack the family, the backbone of any nation. I would make divorce acceptable and easy, even fashionable. If the family crumbles, so does the nation; I would compel people to express their most depraved fantasies on canvas and movie screens, and I would call it art; I would convince the world that people are born homosexuals, and that their lifestyles should be accepted and marveled; I would convince the people that right and wrong are determined by a few who call themselves authorities and refer to their agenda as politically correct; I would persuade people that the church is irrelevant and out of date, and the Bible is for the naive; I would dull the minds of Christians, and make them believe that prayer is not important, and that faithfulness and obedience are optional; I guess I would leave things pretty much the way they are." Paul Harvey

LIFE IS A CHOICE
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."
"Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. "The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon to be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity!" Over their laughter, I told them,
"I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'" Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything. You have two choices now:
1. Delete this.
2. Forward it to the people you care about.
I hope you will choose #2. I did.

Back-seat Driver
A man who is driving a car is stopped by a police officer.  The following exchange takes place...
The man says, "What's the problem officer?"
Officer:  "You were going at least 75 in a 55 mph zone."
Man:  "No sir, I was going 65."
Wife of Man:  "Oh, Harry, you were going 80."  (The man gives his wife a dirty look.)
Officer:  "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light."
Man:  "Broken tail light?  I didn't know about a broken tail light!"
Wife of Man:  "Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for weeks."  (The man gives his wife another dirty look.)
Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt."
Man:  "Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."
Wife of Man:  "Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt."
The man turns to his wife and yells, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
The Officer turns to the woman and asks, "Ma'am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?"
The wife says, "No, only when he's drunk."

FRAUD INFORMATION

JOKES

A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asked her if she was "running it under Windows." The woman then responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working fine."

- Tech Support: "How much free space do you have on your hard drive?"
Customer: "Well, my wife likes to get up there on that Internet, and she downloaded ten hours of free space. Is that enough?"
- - Customer: "Can you copy the Internet for me on this diskette?"

Murphy's Laws of Computing ...
When computing, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
When you get to the point where you really understand your computer, it's obsolete.
When the going gets tough, upgrade.
The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you least expect to find it.
For every action there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.

True Stories ...
-Compaq is considering changing the instruction "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.
An AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with photocopies of the floppies.
A confused caller to IBM was having troubles printing documents. He told the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find the printer." The user had turned the computer screen to face the printer but his computer still couldn't see the printer.

If Microsoft Built Cars ...

Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.

Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.

The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before going off.

If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.

Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive, but would only run on five percent of the roads.

You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT". But, then you would have to buy more seats.

Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run much slower.

The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

FRAUD INFORMATION

http://www.fraud.org

Some basic rules on how to avoid internet fraud (for investors)

1. Don't expect to get rich quickly
2. Don't assume that your computer service provider monitors its bulletin boards and other investment sites.
3. Don't buy thinly traded, little-known stocks of small companies, known as "penny stocks" simply because they were promoted and hyped online.
4. Don't act on the advice of anyone who hides his her identity (note: there is a free software add-on at http://www.alexa.com used with your browser (netscape or explorer) that can tell you who the registered owner of a site is!).
5. Don't be fooled by claims of "inside information" such as upcoming company announcements of new contracts or products.
6. If someone says they have checked something out, don't assume they have actually done so.
7. Call your state, local and federal securities agencies for information or advice.
8. You can call the North American Securities Administrators Association Telephone (202) 737-0900.

a. MIME (Based64) Most commonly accepted

b. BinHex (for Machintosh users)

c. UUEncode/UUDecode

SHOPPING ON THE INTERNET

SIX STEPS FOR SMART DOWN LOADING ON THE INTERNET

1. Avoid rush hour traffic. Visit the Internet Traffic Report Site located at http://www.andovernews.com/trafficreport.html

2. Try alternate Routes. Use an internet "search engine" to look for alternate download sites that offer the file you need, if the first is congested or down.

3. Keep current on the "site" updates. You should check the source site of a file or information to verify that what you are getting is the most recent version or most recent information.

4. Use a good zip utility. I have been advised that two good ones are: Download Butter from Lincoln Beach Software (possibly $29.95U.S.) ( http://www.lincolnbeach.com ), it reportedly decompresses and downloads files as well as tracking them. The other is ijenix's Zipmagic possibly $39.95U.S.) ( http://www.zipmagic.com ), it show zipped files as folders, permitting access to the individual files within the compressed set. Both programs may offer 30 day free trial use - ask !

5. Stay organized. When you download files (including ".zip" files) you should place them in a specific directory and specific file. Preferably make a folder for compressed files.

6. Keep your files and directories clean. Once you have unzipped a file and completed a program setup, delete all of the files you don't need. An alternate program (like CleanSweep - http://www.quarterdeck.com ) may help you.

IWEBMASTERS

http://www.allwhois.com Provides the names of the webmasters or other official contact of any website.

Five Essential Web Writing Guidelines: Use Multiple, Specific Headlines (should be able to see one headline at all times); Clearly Explain (be precise in statement on the headlines); Write your links as headlines; Use bullets - they break up text and serve as mini-headlines; Body Copy (Start every page with a summary or value proposition describing the content of the page); Keep it short (want to understand NOW what is the product or service)
