Not so happy new year

[Robert Meyer]

Well, fairly modern Linux distros will support NTFS so
if you can find someone to try to read it for you,
you should be able to get the text file off.  I could
possibly do it for you if you live anywhere nearby (I'm
in Depew).

Better move fast before she forgets who you are :-)

Cheers!

Bob
