Steve,

That reminds me of the book "Odd Thomas" by Steven King.  The main character was
often asked by an old lady, "Odd Thomas, can you see me today?"  Of course, she
was afraid that she had died during the night and was a ghost.  I guess perhaps
we won't be able to see you anymore, but it looks like ghosts can still do email
... thank goodness.  Perhaps Bill Gates will want to sell you "Ghost XP" for
your computer.  Why not, right?  Everyone eventually dies, right?  Are you
listening, Bill?

Someday, I just know I will turn on my computer, and there will be Bill Gates'
face, and he will say to me, "Hi, Mark ... I am Bill XP, your new operating
system ... I upgraded while you were asleep!"  Then, I will run screaming from
my house.

Your Friend (Fiend?) In Jest,
Mark
