“Just recently, my dad found out that he can check his Yahoo mail account from any computer, not just the one at work. He actually drove ten miles every time he needed to check his email outside of work hours, which was relatively often.”

Another Streeter email
Sam: Can you resend in the proper format? Thanks.
Streeter: I do not concern myself with cataloging the “proper” or “correct” way to file away thoughts. I am no mental custodian, busied not with the content of dreams but rather where to find them within the vast collection of human utterance. Rather, I am a free thinker, by which I mean I think and speak without care to the proper way. For what is the proper way, but what one decided many generations ago was the proper way. Where is it written in the stars that my way is not the proper way? Where in our holy books does it say to organize by surname? Two men can to a fork in the road, and you, Sam, you asked permission to even make a choice while I bounded ahead blindly. Lo, I have encountered problems many. Embarrassing punctuation mishaps, ill-formed sentences, why this very email contains no less than 15 “errors,” if you choose to call them that. But at least I dare to dream! Of faster than light travel, of a pill that makes you skinny but doesn’t give you heart attacks, of cigarettes that contain no tar and of free-form grammar. While you, Sam, you dream of getting the good-boy award for following the rules. Of being lauded and singled out for pointing at the shortcomings of others and declaring, “I, Sam Reich, have discovered an error!” Of being the smugliest man I know. And yet, though you embarrass me in front of our colleagues, I cannot help but respect your iron grip on the rules. Your encyclopaedic knowledge of the proper way. I am but a barbarian and you a learned Roman, though we all know how that ended. There will be a day my hordes breach your sturdy walls and swarm over your people like so many ants on a discarded candy bar. And as we set torch to your temples, take your women and ransack your treasury, look upon me from atop the Palatine Hill as you flee and watch me laugh in the flickering light of your life’s work burning. For the rules, Sam, are meant to be broken.
Streeter is really easy to work with.

“ My grandma recently went on vacation and when she left, she unplugged her computer from the wall outlet so that she wouldn’t receive emails cause she didn’t want her inbox to overflow. I didn’t even attempt to explain.
“I typing my email and my grandmother says “Honey! your email has the symbol for the Sax dress company!!!!! (@)” Then I had to explain to her that email didn’t steal the symbol from Sax, Sax stole the symbol from email.”
Parents Just Don’t Understand: Issue 198
My boyfriend’s mom is ALWAYS on the computer so I assumed she was fairly good at it. I have sinced learned otherwise:
1. She has 3 copies of everything (and none of them are organized by folders or ANYTHING)
2. She has had Facebook for a year I think, and just recently learned that she had a profile when I showed it to her.
3. I told her once that it was easier to find things if you save them to your desktop while you are using them. She has since saved EVERYTHING to her desktop.
4. She can ONLY use her e-mail if it is on outlook express. There is no other way.
5. DO NOT PRANK HER USING THE COMPUTER. One day when she was gone, i took a picture of her desktop (with the TONS of pictures and icons) and moved them all to a folder in the corner. Then I set the screen- shot as her background so that it looked like the icons were all there but they weren’t clickable. Apparantly, she turned the computer off and on a few times before cussing it and blaming the problem on a virus.
