on-line memorial service
it is with great sadness, i have to announce the death of hal.
he went quietly in his sleep two weeks ago. it was time. he had just suffered too many crashes.
but he will live on in our hearts and minds. he was a good computer, only rarely posting by himself.
you will all be comforted to know, while he is gone, he will live on in other computers. he had donated all his parts to a parts bank.
he will be greatly missed.

Re: on-line memorial service
I also have terrible news. I learned today of the passing of an icon.
Veteran Pillsbury spokesman, The Pillsbury Doughboy, died yesterday of a severe yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a slightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and many others.
The graveside was piled high in flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded".
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model to millions. Doughboy is survived by his second wife, Play Dough. They have two children and a bun in the oven.
The funeral was held at 350 for about twenty minutes.

Re: on-line memorial service
with all the sadness and trauma going on in the world today, the death of another american icon went almost unoticed.
larry la prise, the man who wrote "the hokey pokey" died peacefully at the age of 94. the most traumatic part for his family was getting him in the coffin.
they put his left leg in. and then the trouble started...
