Want a non-Clinton laugh?  I got a note from a friend that shows just
how much you can't trust the US Postal Service.

Seems he packaged some goods up for someone in another country but has
now received a letter from the Post Office that says they found the
parcel without its contents but still showing the mail was from him.
They asked him to identify the contents in case they might be around
still.

Yeah, right.  You figure someone took the goods home or sold them to
some fence.  Won't see them again!

So my friend wants me to help him describe the documentation for
Genera 7!
