Linux means never having to delete your love mail.

Attention all Bad People of the Future, I've recently
discovered a cool new service on the Web that let's you send
email INTO THE FUTURE. It's from the crazy Dave Winer guy
over at Userland Software.
So, yeah, you give it a date in the future -- like the year
2138 -- and a message, and it will sit there waiting... and
then it will send the email off to a person of your
choosing. IN THE FUTURE!!! Imagine that! You could send
email to your extropian "bush robot" self in the year 4960
when you'll probably be orbiting a distant star, sucking
down energy. And you would say to yourself, "Wow, I sent
that to myself back before the second millenium!"
Another thing to know about "Mail to the Future" is that
it's highly ADVANCED and FUTURISTIC. Check out the "Tech
Info" link, which explains how it works. It's all setup to
be used via this crazy thing called XML-RPC (Remote
Procedure Call), which allows developers to make their own
custom interfaces to it on their very own web sites and
whatnot.
Check it out yourself
