Crazy-mail special
Hello, everyone! I�m Molly Wood and welcome to the CNET Mailbag, the show where I
give up on trying to answer serious questions because the CRAZY MAIL just keeps
pouring in! This week, I�m dedicating the show to the most hilarious, most baffling, and
most fantastic email I�ve gotten in the past week. Let�s start � with fanboy mail.
Sometimes, I just get random declarations of love for unexpected things. Like, lkstojcic,
who writes:
The Chevy Volt's gonna own up all those stupid hybrids from Toyota and Honda,
(Sneer). GM FTW!!!!!!!!!!
That�s a proud American, right there. And this one from anonymous, who just says:
MICROSOFT IS THE BEST
Kind of feel like a robot wrote that. A lot of your crazy mail comes in as � requests.
Requests I can never, ever fulfill. jklb29, for example, writes:
I WANT TACO
Vonr2 says:
please, please more of the remarkable dwight yoakam
And sauqijacob reports:
wanna know the sample.ok
Actually, I can�t tell if that�s a request or an offer. Maybe � ok � IS the sample.
The next category of crazymail we get is the tech support questions. Now, our engineers
and the CNET TV product manager monitor the feedback, and try to get back to people
who are having problems. But sometimes, they fix themselves! Like when ceejay22
emailed and said:
your cnet tv wont come on,all the info comes on the side but no video!
And then a few minutes later, we got this:
Hi.. just called back to let you know I was downloading from the web and that was the
problem,sorry about that...
Glad it worked out. Or, Andrew, who sent these three messages in quick succession.
First:
What about the speed .
How fast can it go ?
does it need 2 or 1 Gb of ram ?
or can it use 512 mb of ram
Then:
How much is it going to
cost?
And finally:
When is it go to be comming out?
to buy
WHAT, dude? WHAT!?
And finally, my favorite category of all � the mysterious missives from abroad. I swear,
I am NOT making fun of your English, only the fact that you sent these particular emails
� to me. Here. At CNET TV. Like, Augustina from Argentina, who writes:
hello, sorry but i'm looking for someone who calls konstantin isaac, from germany,
actually he's russian. the thing is that i'm looking him by anyplace on earth, and i found
this site, but i don't know if he is part of it or what, so, if he will. let me know, if not, let
me know it too. 'cause i don't know how keep with my search. thanx
And this one from joao � I�ll do the best I can:
hallo guys

yars ago ,and all the world came on my brain thruogh this videos.I'm so happy ,I'm free ,

nothing because he leaven day by day on the dark and the silence
WHAT!? That is straight Notes from Underground right there. I love that email!!! I love
you guys and your crazymail. Thank you. I�ll be back to answer actual questions next
week � as long as you SEND THEM.

CA, 94105. Thanks for watching, everyone.
