Electronic Story Collection
-
Version
2004.3
Dennis Hickey has assembled a collection of amusing
and inspirational stories and poems, gleaned from his
e-mail correspondence with friends, relatives and even
strangers. You don't need a modem; just open the pages
to log on! You will laugh, cry, be surprised but you
will not get bored with this collection. Some stories
are for mature audience although they are not indecent
by any means. "I know that all Internet and e-mail
users receive all types of mail, most being of a Trash
or Junk category. In many cases, you can read the
subject area and determine immediately if you want
to 'Read it or Delete it.' Other types of mail that is
not personal or business related is humorous, true,
educational, inspirational, religious based or other
stories that are forwarded by friends because they
have found them to be entertaining and want you to
enjoy them too. I have certainly received my share of
these stories, but for one reason or another was
unable to read them at time of receipt, so I would
file them under an appropriate heading or category.
One night, I decided to start reading some of these
stories, but many were extremely difficult to read
because of all the e-mail addresses, comments by
individual senders, programming symbols, formatting
and spelling problems. I then began to correct these
problems so I could print them for my wife to read. It
became very time-consuming utilizing thousands of
Delete, Backspace, Insert and other keystrokes to get
them into a readable story. It soon became a
challenge. Since the finished product looked so much
better than the original format, I decided to compile,
print and place in a notebook for repeated reading by
family and friends. Requires 1024x768 screen.
