The classically minded among us may have noted a new TV ad for Microsoft's Internet Explorer e-mail program which uses the musical theme of the "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. "Where do you want to go today?" is the cheery line on the screen, while the chorus sings "Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis." For those of you who have not studied Latin, this translates to "The damned and accursed are consigned to the flames of hell." Good to know that Microsoft has done its research! Send this story to a friend 1 I work for an internet provider, as tech support. So I get all the goofy calls... One day, an older lady called the service obviously knowing nothing about computers. She said that we (the Internet company) had given her a virus. I asked her how that was possible. She told me that her computer wouldn't go on. I asked her if she had pushed the power button.... She said yes that she had pushed the button twice and it still didn't go on. (I had to call everyone and tell them) Send this story to a friend 2 Something only recently discovered: Due to an anticipated voter turnout much larger than originally expected, the polling facilities may not be able to handle the load all at once. Therefore, Republicans are requested to vote on Wednesday, November 8, and Democrats and Independents on Tuesday, November 7. Please pass this message along and help us to make sure that nobody gets left out. 2000 Presidential Election Commission Send this story to a friend 3
