I mentioned to my mother that I would really like a laptop for my birthday. She got frazzled and said that if she had known, she would have gotten me this great one she saw at the mall yesterday. I asked what kind it was and she said, "It was one of those funky ?leaping frogs' things." A Leap Frog?

My mom decided that she wanted to get familiar with computers. So, I showed her how to type addresses into the URL bar and assumed she could handle it. The next day, I got onto the computer and Mozilla Firefox was renamed "aol.com". The day after that, it was renamed as her email address.

I Work for a company that does email campaigns [Susanna Edit: spam]. A couple of weeks ago we received a letter, an actual letter, that read:
Dear Sir,
Please unsubscribe me from your internet.
My email address is: X@X.com
Thank You
Always,
Joyce
P.S. My internet gets too full all the time.
