> >Considering the future of his wife and children, he decides to

> >When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is
> >stunned: What, you don't even have e-mail? How on earth have
> >you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail
> >and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would have been by
> >now, if you had been connected from the very start!
> >After a moment's silence, the tomato millionaire replied: Sure!
> >I would have been a lavatory cleaner at Microsoft!
> >Morals of the story:
> >The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life.
> >Get e-mail, if you want to be a lavatory cleaner at Microsoft.
> >If you don't have e-mail, but work hard, you can still become a
> >millionaire.
> >Seeing that you got this story via e-mail, you're probably
> >closer to becoming a lavatory cleaner than you are to becoming

> >If you do have a computer and e-mail, you're already being taken
> >to the cleaners by Microsoft.
