"i know that all internet and e-mail users receive all types of mail, most being of a trash or junk category. in many cases, you can read the subject area and determine immediately if you want to 'read it or delete it.' other types of mail that is not personal or business related is humorous, true, educational, inspirational, religious based or other stories that are forwarded by friends because they have found them to be entertaining and want you to enjoy them too. i have certainly received my share of these stories, but for one reason or another was unable to read them at time of receipt, so i would file them under an appropriate heading or category. one night, i decided to start reading some of these stories, but many were extremely difficult to read because of all the e-mail addresses, comments by individual senders, programming symbols, formatting and spelling problems. i then began to correct these problems so i could print them for my wife to read. it became very time-consuming utilizing thousands of delete, backspace, insert and other keystrokes to get them into a readable story. it soon became a challenge. since the finished product looked so much better than the original format, i decided to compile, print and place in a notebook for repeated reading by family and friends. requires 1024x768 screen.
