Asslamu-aleikum everybody;

  Thanks a lot for every one has E-mailed to me. Really I'm very
happy to know that egypt is connected to the international E-mail
system. I have recieved E-mail messages from several nice persons
and I found that I have to inform every one what exactly I knew.
  The most important E-mail I have recieved in this subject is from
the computer center located in the supreme council of the egyptian
universities in Cairo. I found it's important to send this message
to every one to benefit from it. In the following is the message:
