                          MOSES AND THE COMPUTER
              passed on by Warren Bonner, wdbonner@pacbell.net

     "Excuse me, Sir"

     "Is that you again, Moses?"

     "Yes, Sir. I have new computer problems, Remember those 10 things You
     sent me?'

     "You mean the 10 Commandments ?"

     "That's it. I was wondering if they're important?'

     "What do you mean 'were important' ? Of course they're important, or I
     wouldn't have sent them to you".

     "Well, sorry Sir, but I lost them."

     "Lost them? Don't you remember I told you to save them?"

     "Yes, but I forgot, but I did send some before I lost them."

     "Did you hear back from any of them?"

     "Well, one guy doesn't like the words "thou shalt not !" Can he change
     the words a little bit?

     "Yes Moses, if he doesn't change the meaning ."

     "And another guy thought the word 'commandments' was too harsh. He
     recommended they be called the "10 Suggestions' , or letting people
     try one or two for awhile."

     "Moses, I'll pretend I didn't hear that"

     "I think that means 'no'. What about the guy who said I was scamming
     him?"

     "The term is 'spamming', Moses."

     "Yeah, I e-mailed him back, and told him I don't even eat that stuff,
     and I have no idea of how to send it through a computer."

     "And what did he say?"

     " He used your name in vain. You don't think he might have sent me one
     of those, ah, plagues, or something, and that's the reason I lost
     those 10 things, do You?'

     "They're not plagues, they're viruses!"

     "Whatever. This computer stuff is just too much for me. Can't we just
     go back to those stone tablets ? They're hard on my back, taking them
     out and reading them every day, but at least I never lost them."

     "We'll do the new way, Moses!"

     "I was afraid You would say that, sir."

     "Moses, what did I tell you to do, if you messed up?"

     "You told me to stretch out this rat toward the computer."

     "It's a Mouse, Moses. MOUSE, MOUSE, MOUSE and did you do that?"

     "No, I decide to try the technical support first. After all, who knows
     more about this stuff than you, and I like your hours. And one other
     thing. Why didn't you name them 'frogs', instead of ' mice', because
     didn't you tell me that they sit on a pad?"

     "I didn't name them, Moses. Man did.  You can name yours 'frog' if you
     want to."

     "Oh, that explains it. Kind of like Adam, huh, sir?" I bet some woman
     told him to call it a mouse. After all, wasn't it a woman who named
     one of the computers Apple?"

     "Say good night, Moses"

     "Wait a minute, sir. I'm stretching out the mouse, and it seems to be
     working. Yes, a couple of the 10 things came back."

     Which ones, Moses?"

     "Let's see. ''Thou shalt not steal from any grave an image', and 'Thou
     shalt not uncover thy neighbor's wife."

     "Turn off the computer, Moses. I'm sending you another set of stone
     tablets."
