Jing's Magazine(November 7, 2000)

I already haven't hard sold my e-zine so I don't expect there will be a new subscriber, but I'm wrong:) Now I have two subscribers, you did a great choice:) I appreciate it. If you are interested in reading the outdated e-zines, just go to find them via http://go.163.com/~yourhero/magazine/magazine.htm
One of you may not being added to my E-zine list due to the problem of the newsletter web site(at present even I can't manage the subscriber database). Anyway, thanks for telling me there's such a problem. Since you requested, I'll send my E-zine to you even if you aren't in the subscriber list now. Please try again maybe later the newsletter web site will solve this problem.
Since that, if anyone knows a better newsletter provider, please tell me. Many thanks! I wrote to the webmaster for some times to tell them the problems, but it seems it's still very unstable and I have no feedback. Then I am planning to change the newsletter web site although it's very troublesome. Before I find a better newsletter provider, I have to send my E-zine by E-mail system. It's inconvenient but at least it can work all the time.

Finally my homepage was a little bit modified. Updated several photos of my pets, me, Guangzhou photos and a dog's photo. Last time I visited my homepage as the No.521 VIP, just hope this time it may get a few clicks. I just found that my photos are more than my pets, sorry:) Megum did have a handsome look this time, the same to Duo Duo. Ding Dong has a bad photo this time and she won't be happy to see it. It's all my faults because in this photo her eyes are like two big shining bulbs. Therefore I'm not going to upload this photo to annoy her:)
Some days ago I found my old URL in a search engine. Unfortunately it's my old URL and not available any more. I don't really know why my old URL was added there, and especially with a good place. However, the URL is wrong. It's very depressing to see my URL in a good place to be found but with a wrong URL.

You can send a message to a mobile phone and set the stock alarms via this web site: http://www.gmcc.net
It won't cost you anything, just try to take advantage of more mobile phone usage. Besides, you can ask this web site to send a weather forecast message to your mobile phone and it's free of charge, too. You can learn the weather of many main cities in China and some cities all over the world.

1. Little Peter proudly said to his friends:"My uncle is a priest, everybody called him priest." Little Paul said:"My uncle is a lord, everybody called him lord." Little Jack said:"That's nothing. My uncle has 300 KG weight, when everybody sees him, they all said: Oh, my God!"

2. Dave gets a parrot for his birthday. It has a bad attitude, and a worse vocabulary. Every other word the parrot says is a curse. Dave tries changing the bird's attitude with soft music and polite words, but nothing works. Out of frustration, Dave grabs the bird and throws it in the freezer. It squawks, it kicks and suddenly it falls silent. Dave, worried, opens the freezer door. The parrot calmly steps out, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior." Dave is astonished at the change in the bird's attitude and is about to ask what caused it when the parrot continues, "May I ask what the chicken did?"

3. A dog:"Now I have 3 bones everyday, I hope I will have 3,000,000 bones when I retire."

Two lovers were going to break up and they were negotiating. The girl had a crying eyes and glanced at the boy, then passed him a list:

The bookshelf -- I bought
The clock -- I bought
The chair -- I bought
I will take away the above stuffs.

The boy had a look at it, then wrote another list and passed it to her:

The quilt -- free
The telephone -- free
The wardrobe -- free
Two hundred letters -- free
Countless times to take care of you and wait for you -- free
Shopping with you -- free
All the above is free, welcome to move them anytime.
All the clothes and flowers -- free
Furthermore, worrying about you and being happy for you, they are all free.
All of these and my true love to you is still free.

After the girl read this list, she said blandly:"I will take away all the above stuffs including you!"

ISDN: It still does nothing.
DOS: Defunct operating system.
IBM: I blame Microsoft.
DEC: Don't expect cuts.
WWW: Whole world wait.

I read an article about PC-Phone calls from a computer newspaper. I just tried to one web site and it succeeded once. I don't test other web sites because either these lines are very busy or I have no chance to test them. Since it's from a newspaper, let's believe it and have a try.
