2. CHRISTMAS/NEW YEAR TRAFFIC JAM
I feel like killing ????? (one of our co-editors) was the reaction of a friend who got six xgirl christmas/new year greatings from him by mistake. Well he was not a lone. Infact the editors too were at the "receiving" end. After more than one hour of downloading one xgirl after another one was forced to call the ISP and ask to delete all incoming mails with xgirls.
However, there were the usual one line greetings and flower baskets that you had to fetch for yourself (if you wanted to) that brought in some sanity to the jam.
Yes, it is fun sending cards via email, but spare a thought for the poor fellow who is going to download it at the other end.
