Undoing a System Crash
Eighteen months ago, Microsoft formally launched the final revision of its Windows operating system for PC’s. This latest version is the company’s final one that will be based on the two-decades-old DOS programming technology. The next generation of home operating systems from Microsoft will be based on its NT technology.

Called Windows Me-short for Windows Millennial Edition-this new product is big on movie, music, and Internet features. The experts say it isn’t a huge leap from Windows 98 Second Edition, and an early poll of PC users had indicated just over 75% of them saying they didn’t plan to pay the pricey tab that goes with an upgrade.

Should we worry about Bill Gates - probably not. Microsoft has possibly sold over 100million copies of Windows Me over the last year and a half, since most PC makers have included it on their new products. Bill Gates won’t go hungry.

The one feature of Windows Me that has caused a stir is its new “system restore” feature. How does it work? Well, suppose you suffer a system crash on your computer this Thursday. You’re not a computer expert and you don’t know how to recover the last two weeks of financial information you entered Wednesday, your daughter’s history report she started writing Monday, or your favourite game. All you have to do with Windows Me is select “system restore” and specify the date to which you want your machine to reset. Voila! Problem solved! All the things you somehow messed up are put back in their configuration as of that earlier day.

Wouldn’t you like to market that feature for human lives? Do you think there would be any demand for it? Personally, I think we’d come across some very interesting scenarios. Such as Bob “system restoring” to the day before he began the affair. Sue would go back to the day before she tampered with payroll data. Ivan would choose the day before the big fight that caused his son to run away from home. Perhaps you can remember the day when things crashed for you - and you’d give anything you own to restore things to the way they were just one day before it.

Friends, Windows Me calls “system restore” a new release, is what the Bible calls forgiveness. If you don’t believe me, just check it out for yourself. And there is an amazing bonus associated with it because upgrades are always free! And what is even more important, is that God’s forgiveness is so complete it is forgetfulness.

Perhaps you’re not enjoying life, because you’re tending to live in the past, and unable to deal with the mistakes you have made. If this is so, let me assure you that God has great things in store for you. He doesn’t want you do live with terrible feelings of guilt. Indeed, a radiant, victorious life can be yours if you’re willing to accept his plan, his forgiveness, and his offer of eternal life. So if you would like to know how you can accept God’s forgiveness, just write to me and ask for a FREE booklet titled “Accepting Forgiveness.”
