Subject: Would this be of interest in ENgland? ...

I am the writer/singer/performer on the American Tribute to Princess Diana Album, the only American album made in honor of Diana. We have CD's and Cassettes. The music is great, and the messages are lovely . The album came out within 48 hours of her death. Both Princes William and Harry received copies of the CD's and I got a lovely note back saying they were touched by the album. Please respond if you think there would be interest in the album in England.All the best, Martha from PA, USA Thank you and Happy New Year!

Subject: Would this be of interest to the English people?...

I am the performer/singer/writer of the American Tribute to Princes Diana. We put out both CD's and Cassettes as a fond Tribute. The music is great, and the booklet lovely, as is the cover. If you think there would be interest in England, let me know please.I've just come out of a divorce and I feel quite diffused, and while normally things go smoothly, right now it seems that I've had a few obstacles. If you couold help me out with thisI would be very grateful. Thanks so much..........MARTHA

Subject: warning to northern residents...

If any of you know people who actually experience winter, and might die without electricity, please warn them of a very real and possible danger: The "Millenium Bug." This is a widespread computer problem that originates in computers' inability to deal with the switch from the 1900's to the 2000's. Not just Personal computers and such, either. There are also a sort of "mini computer", a date sensitive chip that monitors and controls many modern machines. This could result in widespread power failures at the turn of the millenium, as well as water pumps stopping, and newer vehicles refusing to start.

I just read a request (from Jim in Florida) for information about search engines. I would also like to have this information; I am after getting the word out about a great business opportunity and figure that good search engines could help me to find the appropriate bulletin boards, etc. While I tend to deny it, I am relatively net-challenged. I would definitely appreciate any help. Thanks a lot - amy
