Well, if you had adhered to the program the rest of the year, you should be ready for tomorrow's 'National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day'. Third Monday in October by The Personal Computer Museum located in Brantford, Ontario Canada.
[The Hankster says] We have already been told to clean our room, garage and desk. The nice thing about cleaning your virtual desktop (PC icons and such) is that you may virtually choose to do it. It's all in the mind.
