JOKE OF THE DAY: Forgotten

A pious man, who had reached the age of 105, suddenly stopped
going to synagogue.

Alarmed by the old fellow's absence after so many years of faithful
attendance, the Rabbi went to see him. He found him in
excellent health, so the Rabbi asked, "How come after
all these years we don't see you at services anymore?"

The old man lowered his voice. "I'll tell you, Rabbi," he whispered.

"When I got to be 90, I expected God to take me any day.
But then I got to be 95, then 100, then 105. So, I figured
that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me,
and I don't want to remind Him!"

QUICK technology fact

Let’s face it, audio technology was due for a change. Even with today’s wide choice of audio mediums, the industry had yet to bridge the gap between cassette and CD. Compact disc users couldn’t record their own music mixes and poor cassette tape sound made favorite bands sound like they were singing at the bottom of a well. Sony has changed all that by offering MiniDisc, a product that gives listeners digital sound with portable convenience. It’s the next great step into the future of flexible sound.
