Free Ericsson Laptop?


BE AWARE,.........BE VERY AWARE!! The T18 is an old Laptop Version, and the R320 is not a Laptop at all.....it's a discontinued line of cell or mobile phone.

If you get an email with this subject heading, REPLY back to all senders and recipients, then DUMP it. Then throttle the so-called friend who sent it to you in the first place.

Man, I hate them kind of emails. I know a few people that aren't too "current" with the way things work nowadays.
They send this kind of stuff sometimes, but, lately, there's two people in particular that STILL forward chain-mails.....CONSTANTLY.
I remember being on the original AOL, and that was the last time I saw consistent chain mails. I really thought people were way past that by now. I was wrong apparently.

Someone has to get it through to some people in places like facebook too that all the "Giveaways" are a crock. Way too many people don't think before they act on something like this.

So, yeah, I throttle people all the time for stuff like that. And if ya can convince them that it's fake, then the internet gets a billionth of a percent safer, (and less junk emails from people too,lol. )
