Customer's Girlfriend Sends Mike an Email

Name:
Email :

Hey Mike,

This is the hapless girlfriend who shares an email account with a techie who subscribes to your newsletter.

The amount of dry poopey emails that we get in our inbox is criminal, and it's pathetic that the other electronic types are perpetrating the geek image that's out there by doing these incredibly boring emails. I mean come on? 'All you've ever wanted to learn about C++, Extensive Layer Management Plug-In for mental ray Pipeline? BRUTAL! Thank you for the sense of humour in your newsletters.

Mike - I think you need to start a 'how to write a cheese free newsletter course' I can think of many companies that need your help!

Signed,
Disgruntled Dish

Christmas Rhyme and Oversized Stocking Stuffers from B&B

Friends & Subscribers,

Weary is the world on Christmas Eve
Weary is the mind of technician Steve
Late night fixes and urgency
Equipment is stopped, he must go see

Eggnog and cookies under the tree
Lovely wife and child have no company
Sixteen miles through ice and snows
Steve is man when downtime grows

The problem so minor, was easily fixed
A stroke on the keyboard no big trick
Back he drives home, to make love his wish
But when he arrives, his wife's a cold fish

"I've got a headache dear, don't you see?
Love's hot flame died in this emergency"
Dejected, rejected, he lays his head down
The most depressed, dependable technician around

The elixir to restore Steve's marital bliss
Is not a pill or potion or even a kiss
But a tool to fix the problem online
From his home PC he could do just fine

What in his stocking does Steve then find?
A magical device, a gift sublime
A serial server, which doth provide
Wired and wireless data safely abide:

Handy and dandy and small are those
But can they take a punch in the nose?
Rugged and bulletproof his desire
For locations with earth wind and fire

Fortunately for he she did find
Rugged servers of the industrial kind
Wireless transmission, Megabits 54
Com Ports, Serial Tunneling, UDP and more:
     http://www.bb-elec.com/product_family.asp?FamilyId=145&s=e122005

A gigantic stocking on eBay she found
The biggest four foot, furry sock around
What could she put in this gigantic beast
To provide Steve a technician's feast?

Most of B&B's wares are small
She needed something fat and tall
The Empire control panel series she found
The coolest Fiberglass enclosures around

If a wireless future is ever your plan
Then steel enclosures you must ban
If exorbitant price you fear
Compared to steel, the cost is very near:

She had another to please, Steve's brother Guy
For a man with everything, what do you buy?
Budget conscious, a woman of thrift
She sought to find him a clever gift

She solved this problem too, you see
Web specials galore from B&B
Watchdog timers and loop converters on clearance
PCI cards and jumper boxes make their appearance:

2006 is coming, what will the new year bring?
What glad tidings the bell to ring?
B&B's new Catalog next month to go out
Geeks around the world will scream and shout

Innovations, designs, inventions and widgets
Connectors and software, letters and digits
Wires and serial ports, and 422
100 pages of hot new products for you

So watch your mailbox, and be aware
For sneaky co-workers may tear
The copy from your hands and run down the hall
Stealing your catalog, New Year Specials and all!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

(Yeah, I know it's politically incorrect to say Merry
Christmas - I'm supposed to say something bland
and colorless like "Happy Holidays."  Well this is
my newsletter and I can say what I want, darn it.)

Oh, and Happy Connections, too-
