for this series do you have any ideas come on use your imagination
i want something original something catchy
nothing okay then that's your first task
do some brainstorming to come up with some ideas
and then we'll go through them together why the long faces there's nothing to
worry about you're a great team i'm sure you'll
think of something interesting okay gary did you get that email
problem fixed yes i did uh i set up a new account for you
you only have to create a new username and password
how do i do that i'm hopeless with computers
i know you are in fact by now i've lost all hope with you
but you really do need to try to learn i mean
email and internet are indispensable in this day and age
i know i know gary you don't ever get tired of repeating that
i must admit i'm a luddite how i miss the days when you wrote letters by
hand and visited the library to do research
everything's changed now i think i've done well
to learn to send and receive emails speaking of emails um i noticed what you
were writing to the authors and if you'll permit me rachel
your emails are much too stuffy and formal
they don't fit in at all with internet jargon what are you saying
i'll give you an example uh when you start off an email
you use we'd like to inform you that it's quite old-fashioned you know it's
better to write did you know that or another example
when you need to make an excuse you begin we regret to inform you that
it's much better to use something like unfortunately we can't
it's less formal but at the same time more professional
email needs to be kept simple and to the point use abbreviations
as often as possible and keep phrases short if you're writing to someone you
know well you can even add an emoticon it's always
a pleasure to get one an emoticon what the devil is
that you're so old school rachel emoticons are those little faces that
you can make using keyboard characters that
show how you're feeling at the time okay okay professor i'll try to simplify
and use a more colloquial tone when writing
perhaps i'll even put in a smiley it's not difficult you'll see just let
the magic of the internet transport you but remember to use netiquette you're
talking like a computer manual what is netiquette it's good manners
on the internet it's the rules of the road of the network
rachel rachel rachel you really do need to get some practice don't you
i've got an idea why don't you let me sign you up for a forum
that way you can learn the rules of the road and the lingo as you surf
speaking of which do you like music music yes very much so
great then i'll add podcasting sites to your favorites
so you can download podcasts and maybe even burn them to disk and stop
gary oh you're driving me crazy i don't understand a word besides

none of it do you understand would would you like
something to eat okay we have long eat
would you like something to eat i don't think i
don't think okay i can't eat anything
okay i don't think i can eat
anything just put your tongue between your teeth
