Please  don't  even  joke about rolling the systems date
into the new century.  Lots of  funny  unpredictable things
tend to happen.  Getting back might not be easy or is 
questionable<??>

If it  truly  becomes necessary to do a show and tell use a
system other than your production system. You  might bet
 your ASSets.

Compliance letters are real and a cause for many a problem
in  business relationships  and possible legal matters.  
You can't ignore them for the most part nor fib, as long as the 
questions are reasonable.

Happy Holidays

Glenn
