>>Don't know if this one is right or not, thought I'd pass it on. By the way, I
didn't think it was so outrageous to think SunMicrosystems(?) would donate the
money to a worthy cause. Don't be so suspicious, its not like we're talking
Urban Legends here, " a friend of a friend said her husband who does business
with Sun......" MERRY HOLIDAYS!

Please do not e-mail spam them. The previous message about
[log in to unmask] is *incorrect*.
The donations are *not* for e-mail -- they are for visiting the
appropriate URLs (via a WWW browser). The donations are for four
different non-profit organizations:
Second Harvest Food Bank
Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage
Harlem Educational Activities Fund
Plugged In
at a dime per visit to their appropriate home pages. I believe Sun will
donate a maximum of $25,000 (i.e., 250,000 visits), though I could be
incorrect about that number.
If you go to the URL, which is "http://north.pole.org/", you will see
the following message:
