        Dear Curtis,

        Do you download files from the Internet? How are email attachments handled?

        When you use a condom, do you check the expiration date? :)

        Have a Merry Christmas, and a bug free Y2k!
        Dan

PS: See my Christmas greeting below! :)

> One particular Christmas season a long time ago, Santa was getting ready
for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere.

Four of his elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the
toys as fast as the regular ones so Santa was beginning to feel the
pressure of being behind schedule.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This
stressed Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them
were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out,
heaven knows where. More stress.

Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the toy
bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.

So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider
and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that
the elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In
his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke
into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to
get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of the
broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door.
He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big
Christmas tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas,
Santa. Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where
would you like me to stick it?"

Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas
tree.

 HO-HO-HOPE I didn't offend.
