Dear colleagues,
On returning from holidays in mid-August I downloaded 108 e-mail messages
from the university server. Before I could read them my hard disk crashed
irremediably, and has had to be replaced. Will anyone who sent me a
personal message between MID-JULY and MID-AUGUST please send it again. I
apologise to anyone who may have been waiting for a reply from me.
Se qualcuno mi ha mandato un messaggio personale da meta' luglio a meta'
agosto, me lo rimandi per favore --- un guasto al computer mi ha portato
via 108 messaggi non letti.
What is the Italian for Sod's Law, or Murphy's Law? It states (plausibly):
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
See "Resistentialism" in The Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought.
