your point is well taken.  i just reproduced the piece as i received 
it, i never took it seriously.  for debunking stuff like this, there's 
always www.snopes.com:

which discusses other too-stupid-to-be-true myths like not being able 
to find the "any" key on the keyboard, using the CD-ROM drive as a 
coffee cup holder and so on.
