go through your computer and
get rid of old files that bog things down.

take off that kid game from `your` computer.
make sure you are not using styled text for clayart.
check your smoke detectors/ and get a c/o detector
for your basement or home.

check batteries in your flashlight.
make sure you have a good flashlight in your car.

Mel's list is fine, but I would add:

Open up your tower and clean everything inside (with the power plug=20
removed). You may find enough clay dust in there to make a small pot, not=
=20
to mention house dust and pet fur. All this could eventually cause your=20
computer to overheat and even catch fire.

Happy New Year to all,
