computer compliance
I was forwarded this message and although I had checked quite a few
things,
I hadn't done this check. I just sent it along as I thought someone
might
know about computers and if this is the truth. My computer was set
mm/dd/yy
just like it said and it's one year old. I guess it didn't hurt to
change
it anyway. Believe me, I can run a computer and I even put a new modem
in
once, but I really know nothing about their internal works! =)
Best wishes for tomorrow and all of Gods blessings

ps - everyone is so quiet! It's troubling. I hope all goes well for
everyone. If everything turns out fine, I hope we're all still here on
Monday! I have really enjoyed this list Patty. Thank you. It has
really
changed the way I look at my store room and the level of importance of
certain items. I don't take things for granted anymore.
