I'm sending you this letter in a bogus software company

envelope so you'll be sure to read it. Please forgive

the deception, but I thought you should know what's
been
going on since your computer entered our lives two
years ago.

The children are doing well. Tommy is 7 now and is
a bright,
Handsome boy. He has developed quite an interest in
the arts.
He drew a family portrait for a school project. All
the
figures were good but yours was excellent!

The chair and back of your head are very realistic.
You would
be proud of him. Little Jennifer turned 3 in September.
She
looks a lot like you did at that age. She is an attractive

child and quite smart. She still remembers that you
spent
the whole afternoon with us on her birthday. What
a grand
day for Jen, despite the fact that it was stormy and
the
electricity was out.

I discovered that the household chores are much easier
since
I realized that you didn't mind being vacuumed and
that the
feather duster made you sneeze.

The house is in good shape. I had the living room
painted last
spring. I'm not sure if you noticed it. I asked the
painters to
cut air holes in the drop cloths so you wouldn't be
disturbed.

Well dear, I must be going. The family is leaving
on a ski trip
and there is much packing to do. I've hired a house-keeper
to
take care of things while we are away. She'll keep
things in
order, fill your coffee cup and bring your meals to
the
computer room just the way you like it.

I hope you and the computer have a lovely time while
we are
gone. Tommy, Jen and I think of you often. Try to
remember
us while your disks are booting.

Love, Mary
