Internet Customer:

We will be glad if you verify your Operative System(s) before Year 2000 to avoid problems with our Internet Connections. If you are a Windows 95 / 98 user, you can check your system using the Fix2001 application that is attached to this E-mail or downloading it from Microsoft(c) WEB Site: HTTP://WWW.MICROSOFT.COM If you are using another Operative System, please don't wait until Year 2000, ask your OS Technical Support.

Thanks.
