Redmond -- Citing the event as a new era of peace and cooperation, Bill 
Gates today announced Microsoft's purchase of Netscape.

Said Gates: "Hopefully now the world knows we're serious about the Web." 
Microsoft's first move will be to combine the two browsers, with the MINE 
(Microsoft Internet Netscape Explorer) browser due this year. "When we 
release this version," said Gates, "all Web access will be MINE."

An Issaquah, Washington man apparently became frustrated with
his personal computer, pulled out a gun and shot it. The computer,
located in the man's home office, had four bullets holes in its
hard drive and one in the monitor. Police evacuated the man's
townhouse complex, contacted the irate PC owner by phone, and
persuaded him to come out. "We don't know if it wouldn't boot up
or what," says one of the police officers at the scene. 

St. Petersburg Times - July 20, 1997 

This is a true story. My sister and I spent two weeks in Paris. The locals 
obviously hated Americans -- no matter where we went, we were subject to 
rude behavior from waiters, store clerks, pedestrians, etc. After a while 
it started to irritate us. 

One day, in Paris, my sister went shopping. She entered a store and 
started looking around. She was the only customer in the store. As she was 
looking through the clothes on the rack, a clerk hurriedly approached her 
and very abruptly asked if he could help her. 

My sister was used to this bad treatment by now and she politely declined 
his help. She continued to look at the clothes. Then she noticed that 
every clerk in the store was staring at her. 

Defiantly, she continued to look through the clothes. When she could take 
this treatment no longer, she turned on her heels, with her head held 
high, and left the shop. 

As she left, she noticed that the sign on the store read...."DryCleaners."
