REWING@TRINCC.BITNET (12/22/88)
Someone in our regional office actually bothered to contact the address and check out the story. Turns out that the whole thing is *true*, but also that the mark has already been made for the world record, so they ask people NOT TO SEND ANY MORE CARDS!!! The flow was at one time 100,000 cards a day. It seems that computer networks and the media certainly get the word around. Now let's try to get the word around to stop this thing. Incidentally, the child was from England. --Rick Ewing Apple Atlanta Tech Support
