Have you ever been waiting for an email from a special someone? Then you see the new mail indicator: 1 new message. Your heart starts beating a little faster. Is it from her? What will it say? Will she tell you how much she loves you? The download in process bar is moving, ever so slowly. The page goes blank, waiting to load the list of messages. It seems like it will never finish. Is this the email you have been waiting for. Then it starts loading a bit, then stalls. Oh, please, a little faster. Finally the list loads, all at once. The new message is in bold, and all at once you realize what the message is. Spam. An advertisement for some sex pill. You hit the delete button. Zero new messages. You close your mailbox. Waiting for the new mail indicator to show again.
