Please do not post this trash to the mailing list, as this is off-topic
and has nothing to do with the PC. Furthermore, this has been proven to be
a hoax--see the web site http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html#holiday
for more information.  This message has been floating around the Internet
for years, and most people by now know that it is fake, along with
"Join the Crew", the Budweiser Frogs screen saver, and all the other bogus
chain letters floating around out there. 

I'm not trying to be a flamer here, but this hit one of my pet peeves--that
people believe anything they read on the Internet and pass it on without
checking it out, especially to the list. I'm not trying to beat up on
Kevin here, but rather to use this opportunity to set the record straight
for the benefit of everyone.

Thanks,
