I just received an emergency email warning of a new deadly computer virus called POSTCARD FROM HALLMARK.

But… from what I turned up in one minute with Google, IT IS A HOAX.

The email I received is copied below. Whether Ian del Carmen actually sent it, I dont know. Could be a fraudulent misuse of his name and email (that’s called spoofing, I believe).

Either way, if you do a Google search you can quickly see that this same wording was doing the rounds as long ago as 26 Feb 2008. That’s nearly 2 years ago.

Greetings… with yesterday’s news. Because yesterday I launched PageOneWithGary.com

The new site is about how you can make more sales when you have a higher search engine ranking. Over the coming weeks and months, I will be sharing many strategies and tips as well as offering to directly assist business owners who want help to get their sites onto the first page of the search engine results.

I love the new Wordpress template I found for the site. It has a delightfully exuberant feel… just like the feeling you get when your site appears on page 1 of Google^TM.

By the way, there’s no connection between Copyscape and Copygator, that  I know of — apart from the obvious similarity of name.

An elderly gentleman and his wife were invited to their friends home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way the host preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc. The host couple had been married almost 70 years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.

While the wives were in the kitchen, the old man leaned over to his host, ‘I think it’s wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife all those loving pet names’. The host hung his head. ‘I have to tell you the truth,’ he said, ‘Her name slipped my mind about 10 years ago and I’m scared to death to ask the cranky old woman what it is.’

QUALITY HOSTING AT A DISCOUNT PRICE

I’m now using JustHost to host some of my sites, and I’m very pleased with their service.

If memory serves me here, they guarantee a response within an hour but so far they’ve outdone that every time I had a question or an issue needing their input.

I found them polite helpful and informative. Plus they’ve got everything the typical site owner is looking for.

The current discount cuts the price nearly in HALF.
