It’s a load of bollocks m8.

hahaha.k thanks you guys.

[mireland]

Complete and utter Bull****!!!!

When you get this, or similar **** just delete it and forget about the fortune you have supposedly ignored. Because there isn’t one.

This **** takes in many people and cumulatively it must waste thousands of hours.

What tossers. However, Sysopt.com members are smarter than to fall for this load of bollocks

Never ceases to amaze me that every n00b who gets a PC for e-mailing friends and family suddenly feels the duty to forward every "technical" e-mail they get. They barely know how to steer a mouse, yet they are on the warpath vs. Oracle, MS, Intel and AOL the first chance they get.

Too many geeks and not enough users...

I hope the n00b you are referring to isn’t me Bill otherwise I gonna have to come over to Texas and bust your balls boy
