Jing's Magazine(August 1, 2000)

I'm very sorry that I sent the first issue magazine three times to you. This is because there was an error in the newsletter
website. I did test how it worked before I set up the magazine subscribing. I thought it was OK so that I published the first
issue. Since I also subscribed my magazine to find the bugs, when I got the magazine, the edition result was very bad. Finally I had to sent my magazine to you from Hotmail, like sending an email. If so, why I need the newsletter website? I wrote to the newsletter webmaster and got a reply. I'm not sure whether they have fixed the problems. The second issue magazine may has to be sent twice. If the first time is successful, then I won't send it twice. I am just not sure. I am sorry if it causes you any inconvenience.

What a surprise! Finally, four more subscribers. Applause, please:)

This is what I learnt from a newspaper long time ago. I have never tried to use this method but I think it can work. If you are
walking alone in late hours, sometimes it'll be a little dangerous for girls. If so, when you are walking, meanwhile try to call out a boy's name like:"Jack! Wait for me, don't walk so fast!" Then probably bad guys think you are not alone, and they'll get away from you.

If you installed many software, and when you click your start menu, do you think that the menu is too long? If so, then put your mouse to the start menu, right click your mouse. Then select "open", click "programs". Now you can make a new folder for some software here or put some software to a specific folder. It's as well as managing in computer explorer.

1. A man asked another man what's the difference between romance and waste. Another man said:"If you love a girl who
doesn't love you at all, but you still give her 100 roses, this is romance. On the other hand, if you love a girl who loves you, you still give her 100 roses, this is waste."

2. Jack knelt down and asked Rose to marry him with a diamond ring. Jack said:"Rose, I love you, do you marry me?" Rose said:"I don't accept your proposal because I don't want to get married now, but I accept your ring."

3. Two men were talking about the gene. One man said to the other:"Scientists foresee we will discover the secrets of human beings' gene in the coming days, at that time we can live till 1000 years old." Another man said:"Oh no, I don't want to be a
millennium bug!"

In the past there're some IT Chinese slangs that I didn't know at all, later I understand what they mean and think some are
funny.

1. MM & GG
It stands for "mei mei" and "ge ge", it means younger sister and big brother in Chinese. Now it seems it is a nice and close way to address a girl or a boy like this via the net.

2. Kong Long--Dinosaur
It means people who look ugly.

3. Wang Chong--Networm
It means people who addict in the internet.

4. Mao--Cat
It means modem, a very nice nickname for a modem in my opinion:)

5. 886
In Cantonese it sounds a little like "Bye bye la", it's a funny way to say good-bye.

This software is very popular in China, I may be outdated to recommend it now:) It's called Netants, a software for downloading. I have used it for quite a long time and it runs well so that I don't want to use other downloading software. I also haven't downloaded its latest version because I think the old one is already good. It's very easy to find its latest version via the net, but the old version maybe a little bit hard to be found. However, you can find its old version in my homepage, anyway it's a small software only:)

I downloaded a Chinese software and it did make me laugh a lot. I think I am going to make a prank:) You can find this
software from my homepage, it called "say".
