[HM:252947] E-MAILS

An unemployed man goes to try for a job with Microsoft as a cleaner.

The manager there arranges for an aptitude test (Section: Floors,
sweeping and cleaning).

After the test, the manager says: You will be appointed on the scale
of $30 per day, let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send a
form to complete and advise you where to report for work on your first
day.

Taken aback, the unemployed man protests that he is neither in
possession of a computer nor of an e-mail address.

To this the MS exist and can therefore hardly expect to be employed.
Stunned, the man leaves.

Not knowing where to turn and only having about $10 left, he decides
to buy a 10kg box of tomatoes at the supermarket.

Within less than 2 hours, he sells the tomatoes singly at 100% profit.
Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with
almost $100 before going to sleep that night. And thus it dawns on the
man that he could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes. Getting
up early and earlier every day and going to bed late and later, he
multiplies his hoard of profits in quite a short time.

Not too long thereafter, he acquires a cart to transport several dozen
boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again shortly
afterwards on a pick-up truck.

By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of pick-up
trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all
selling tomatoes.

Considering the future of his wife and children, he decides to buy
some life assurance.

Calling an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his
new circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the
adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order that he might forward
the documentation.

When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is stunned:
"What, you don't even have e-mail?

How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the
Internet, e-mail and e-commerce?

Just imagine where you would have been by now, if you had been
connected from the very start!"

After a moment's silence, the tomato millionaire replied: "Sure! I
would have been a cleaner at Microsoft!"

Morals of the story:
1: The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life.

2: If you don't have e-mail, but work hard, you can still become a
millionaire.

3: Seeing that you got this story via e-mail, you're probably closer
to becoming a cleaner than you are to becoming a millionaire.

4: If you do have a computer and e-mail, you're already being taken to
the cleaners by Microsoft.
