Several people have asked me what the joke was that just appeared in March
Reader's Digest, "Virtual Hilarity" section on computer humor. I haven't
received my copy yet, and sent it in two years ago, but here it is from
memory:
"One of my main hobbies is restoring old British sports cars. It's a very
popular hobby, and we even have discussion groups on the Internet.
Recently, someone posted this riddle... 'Why are there no British computers?
Because nobody has figured out a way to make them leak oil!' "

Rich,
Thanks for the information! I didn't know it was in -- haven't received my
copy yet. Of course, I got the idea from this list! That was actually sent
in two years ago.
