   I am told that most of the coffee in the USA is burnt as that is what sells the most. I prefer Second Cup which I can find up north but I can’t order it now because of the political environment…

   Yeah, we knew that – we were trained by MS on Windows – down to code level. It’s amazing what you can do with the registry… When he did a delete, he used a process that is similar to military grade clean.

   Our office tech had to ensure the company computers were clean and quick – he wrote a program that would go into the hidden history files, download to an external server and then delete them. Management would review the history files for NSFW material and discipline the worker – or in some cases, call in the FBI (for child stuff). In my 17 years there, I watched 5 workers leave via the FBI van and multiple others for company policy violations. One of the workers was caught by the external company he was supporting – they too monitored their computers for inappropriate data – they notified us that the FBI were on their way to arrest him.

   I got my draft notice while in Navy boot camp in ’69 and sent it back with return to sender – not interested. I heard about it from a member of our local draft board – you’re right, they have no sense of humor…
