**Important Notice to All Employees**

Corporate has determined that there is no longer any need for network or software applications support. (See below)

The goal is to remove all computers from the desktop by Jan, 1999. Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. Here are the main advantages:

1. No Y2K problems

2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.

3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.

Thank you.

Maybe we will paint on cave walls again! Or Magna-doodles instead of hard drives.

I've always wondered if the teenaged "cavemen" ever got in trouble for spraying that graffiti all over the cave walls?

But the archeologists excavating thousands of years of accumulated dirt and debris from their diggings have proven that only men could living in those old caves - if there were any women living there, they would have the men sweep all the dirt outside and the caves would have been clean, and probably would still have remnants of curtains across the front.
