What! You mean to tell me that you wouldn't get a laptop just to keep abreast of this wonderful list? Come on! You could also get a camera and help keep the stress levels of the rest of us down with pictures of your beach (keep the ten thousand dollar bills out of the picture though).

I'm absolutely amazed that you have never had one of these before! I get about three a week! It's the well known old "Nigerian Scam" and you'd be surprised how many gullible people get taken in by it and actually follow it up! Some lose thousands and thousands as a result! I've had versions from about eight or nine different countries this year alone (got six copies of the same one in one week - the sender must have been getting really p**ss*d off with me for not replying! HeHeHe) and if I was able to inherit all the money that has apparently been left in bank accounts around the world by dead relatives I never knew I had (and most of whom have the same name and died in exactly the same way on the same road on the same date in different countries - now there's a feat) then I wouldn't be reading the wonderful wdvl list. I'd be on the beach lying on a carpet of ten thousand dollar bills and enjoying a life style to which I'd love to become accustomed. Hey Ho - back to the current web development project!
