I have made the change so that your ldm will accept products that are 90
minutes old.  If you look at ~ldm/bin/ldmadmin and search on "Anne"
you'll see a comment that I made followed by a change to one line in the
script.  I also stopped and restarted your ldm so that the change is now
in effect.  Hopefully this will reduce the number of products that are
"skipped". I will keep an eye on this for a day or so.

I always wear my seat belt! but thank you for the reinforcement.  And,
being RETIRED sounds rather APPEALING.  

If I find myself with some free time, would you like me to upgrade your
machine?

Thank you for nice complement!  And, again, I'm sorry not to respond
more quickly to our last exchange.  I'll send your regards to the
others.
