Now even though I taught Dew everything he knows about computers, that does not mean that I am a computer guru. Nevertheless, I caught on pretty quickly that this was not really an email from Craigslist. First, Craigslist would not send an email like this. Also, even Craigslist can spell and they know grammar. Lastly, when you hover over the link where it says, "Click here" the domain name is devildesign.org. C'mon folks. It's 2012. Don't insult me.

Hey - Dew knows plenty about computers.
Just a couple of years ago we were going out to lunch. He found a red laptop with white knobs in the back seat, and shook and shook that device to reboot it, then tried to log onto the internet on my daughter's Etch-a-Sketch...
He knows how to find redhotbottoms.com!
Credit where credit's due - I think the gag from the comment above originally appeared in a Dilbert strip - at least that's where I first saw it.
My computer education involved a TRS 80 model III. Everything after that has me stumped. BTW, I got that same email and when I clicked on it it wanted all sorts of personal info. I wasn't dumb enough to give them my info , although I did give them yours!

It's ok. I already gave it to them. Dangit!
Todd - that website you referenced @ 7:43 is not the guy who refinishes sailboat hulls...
Nope. Different kind of "nauti".
