This is totally off-topic, but I thought many of you might appreciate this. Apparently, it is someone's last day over in the web design department at Microsoft... this link will not last for long, so if you want a laugh, hurry... (There is some strong language; I apologize in advance.) http://www.microsoft.com&item=q209354@.../pub/mskb/Q209354.asp

It looks like their webservers are slightly overloaded-- what's it say? --PBr

They might have shut it down already. Either that or, yeah, the traffic to the site might be way up, in which case the Powers That Be will soon identify the offending page and remove it promptly anyway. Somebody over there posted a full page, completely properly formatted white-paper in their knowledgebase called "Read the F-----G Manual" with links to other white-papers, etc. It was good for a laugh.

>Yea, I finally got through. I especially liked the McDonald's bit. ;) I've already saved a copy in case anyone misses it. I'm curious about the link--is this REALLY on an M$ server or is somebody pulling a fast one? (even if they are we'll overlook it--this is too funny). -- Terry Bowman, KA4HJH "The Mac Doctor"

According to my web-savvy friend: >If you look at the URL carefully, you will see that it doesn't actually >come from microsoft.com. > >Because it contains an @, you connect to www.hwnd.net, using the username >"www.microsoft.com&item=q209354". So there you have it. Still absolutely hilarious. If anyone needs it I can send it to you. -- Terry Bowman, KA4HJH "The Mac Doctor"

That "at" *is* suspicious, but I've never seen it done that way before. I will have to research that. If it was "www.hwnd.net?micosoft...." or something, I could see it, but it's new to me how exactly that URL was worded. If I could figure it out, I could spoof Stooge Larry's site... ;-) -----Original Message-----

it appears to be a simple site redirect, you can get the same place by going to http://www.hwnd.net/pub/mskb/Q209354.asp -Nate --- In motm@y..., "Tkacs, Ken" <ken.tkacs@j...> wrote:
