You can’t say it?
Try the Nando Net

The Internet is read, but the Web makes you blue; what's a computer geek to do, if he can't write "I love you?"

To spare your loved ones doggerel like that, the folks at Nando Net have come up with a computer program to write your Valentine's Day letters for you.

It is called the Cyrano Server in honor of Cyrano de Bergerac. You fill in the blanks with a name, a few adverbs and adjectives and Cyrano writes a letter in styles ranging from steamy to desperate.

You get all this by hopping over to http://www.nando.net/toys.

It will reward the writing-impaired with not only a site to write your notes of love, but a means to decorate it with art and sound and even arrange for it to be sent as e-mail to your loved one on Valetine's Day.

Finally, if that last affair didn't turn out as you had hoped, Cyrano also writes a number of "Dear John" letters, too.
