> >An unemployed man goes to try for a job with Microsoft

> >that you virtually don't exist and can therefore hardly expect

> >Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and only
> >having about $10 he decides to buy a 10lb. box of tomatoes
> >at the supermarket. Within less than 2 hours, he sells the
> >tomatoes singly at 100% profit.
> >Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up
> >with almost $100 before going to sleep that night. And thus
> >it dawns on the man that he could quite easily make a living
> >selling tomatoes.
> >Getting up earlier and earlier every day and going to bed later
> >and later, he multiplies his hoard of profits in quite a short
> >time.
> >Not too long thereafter, he acquires a cart to transport several
> >dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again shortly
> >afterwards on a pick-up truck. By the end of the first year, he is
> >the owner of a fleet of pick-up trucks and manages a staff of
> >several hundred former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes.
> >Considering the future of his wife and children, he decides to
> >buy some life assurance. Calling an insurance adviser, he picks
> >an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. At the end of
> >the telephone conversation, the adviser asks him for his e-mail
> >address in order that he might forward the documentation.
> >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
> >a millionaire.
> >If you do have a computer and e-mail, you're already being taken
> >to the cleaners by Microsoft.
