Before they left, he decided to leave his able-bodied assistant a message that would appear when she turned on the computer. The message read "Good morning Jane - we’re in Dallas, TX at the Hilton and looking forward to another couple hundred good miles today ..." Jane got a thrill because e-mail was virtually unheard of. When the couple got back from vacation, Jane asked, "How did you do that?" I rigged the computer to spit out the message at power up, before I left on vacation. |
