Netscape, AOL / Microsoft Email Tracking Hoax

            Netscape and AOL have recently merged to form the
            largest internet company in the world.  In an effort
            to remain at pace with this giant, Microsoft has
            introduced a new email tracking system as a  way to
            keep Internet Explorer as the most popular browser on
            the market.  This email is a beta test of the new
            software and Microsoft has generously offered to
            compensate those who participate in the testing
            process.  For each person you send this email to, you
            will be given $5. For every person they give it to,
            you will be given an additional $3. for every person
            they send it to you will receive $1. Microsoft will
            tally all the emails produced under your name over a
            two week period and then email you with more
            instructions.  This beta test is only for Microsoft
            Windows users because the email tracking device that
            contacts Microsoft is embedded into the code of
            Windows 95 and 98.

            I know you guys hate forwards.  But I started this a
            month ago because I was very short on cash.  A week
            ago I got an email from Microsoft asking me for my
            address.  I gave it to them and yesterday I got a
            check in the mail for $800.  It really works.  I
            wanted you to get a piece of the action.  You won't
            regret it.!!!!!
