THIS ISSUE INCLUDES:
1) Protecting Yourself From Identity Theft
Identity Theft increased by 80% last year alone, with
seven million victims, according to two independent research
firms. Now more than ever, we must be extremely careful with
important personal information. The Identity Theft Resource
Center can help. It is a nationwide nonprofit organization
dedicated to supporting victims, broadening public awareness,
and decreasing the number of potential victims.
So take a few minutes to read The Scams and Consumer Alerts,
FAQs, and what to do if it happens to you in the Victim
Information Guides.

4) Bassett's Dairy Automates Pricing and Inventory System with
askSam's SDK By Sue Ellen Sullivan
We operate a small milk distributorship in the North Florida
area, and have been working with askSam since the early 90's.
When we decided to upgrade our pricing program to a Web-based
version, we knew askSam could provide us with the answer we
needed.
Using the askSam SDK engine and ASP programming, askSam
created a great, new Web-based pricing system that:
* Automates our price change process
* Is flexibile - changes prices for all customers or
individual customers
* Tracks customer info and price lists - add, edit, delete,
search and print customer info.
* Tracks product list - add, edit, delete, search and print
product information
* Manages Customer Product Lists - Add to or remove products
from a customer
* Easily prints customer price changes and price sheets
* Online file maintenance
* Can be accessed from anywhere
