ON A LIGHTER NOTE...
Presumably a lighter note, that is, if suicide notes can be called that | Oh, and for those of you using Internet Explorer, you might have to scroll down the page to see this, since the folks at
Microsoft apparently haven't been able to write code that lets you see an larger scaled image with the text | Go figure | and click on the picture itself to see the text clearer |
My guess is that the yet to be suicider just bought a new computer, complete with Microsoft XP and all the updates, only to discover that MS Works was installed as the word processing program | He'd downloaded all his old MS Word files into MS Works and they immediately turned into useless gibberish | So, as a last gesture, he's turned on his old computer to write his last thoughts withe the ever-helpful MS Word paperclip icon whom we know as "Office Assistant" |
Honestly folks, I don't take suicide issues lightly, but I couldn't help but laugh at this swipe at Microsoft's "helpful" pop-ups |

Pix credit: Found this at a Russian clip art site | I'm fascinated that most [but not all] the file names are in English, that the majority of the images appear to be of USA dollars and oil field related images | Oh and a couple of suprising things [one of a man giving the viewer "the finger"], a single picture of Vladimir Putin, one of two members of the Taliban [well, two bearded Middle Eastern looking guys wearing turbans], a cartoon image of Saddam but none of USA political figures |
