n00b!

A few weeks ago, I received a forwarded email from a friend about Bill Gates from Microsoft giving out money if you forward the mail again to all your friends.

Waitttttttttttttttt, isn't this a very long ago email hoax which I've seen before? It was waaaaaay back in the year 2002 or 2003 (I could not recall) when the email was circulated around. If I can remember clearly at that time, I did not send the email to any of my friends, because by then I wasn't a n00b on the internet anymore. I can tell it was a hoax.

I really have nothing much to say about this friend of mine. Probably he was blinded by the words and promises of money. I'm very sure he's been on the internet for quite some time now. But then again, probably he's still a n00b in some ways. He still lives in the stone age of Internet.

Friends, I have no problem in receiving forwarded emails, provided that they are interesting to read and you don't forward them on a daily basis. But if you mail this, you will be awarded "n00b of the year award" instantly!

Nowadays, you can always google things up to check it. Always check it before you forward any suspiciously funny mails.

I wonder if in this age of Web 2.0, someone would start a new email chain, saying that Sergey Brin and Larry Page from Google would pay you $100,000 if you forward this to your friends. Any takers?
