Thank you to everyone who left a comment on my Larry Winget post. I fired up the handy random.org integer generator, and it selected number 54
Elaine Frisbie, that’s you!
I’ve emailed Elaine and if I don’t hear back from her by midnight on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 – I will draw another number.
Thanks again, everyone!

If you get a letter in the mail from GE Money – make sure you read it. That’s the company that handles the credit cards for JCPenney as well as some other retail credit cards. One of their computer tapes, with information for about 650,000 customers, is missing and they aren’t sure where it is.
The information was on a backup computer tape that was discovered missing last October. It was being stored at a warehouse run by Iron Mountain Inc., a data storage company, and was never checked out but can’t be found either, said Richard C. Jones, a spokesman for GE Money, part of General Electric Capital Corp.

On the bright side, social security numbers were only listed for about 150,000 of the 650,000 affected. On the not so bright side, it seems like this is happening too often 🙁
