5. *****IMPORTANT***** If you e-mail the assignment to yourself or if
you save it to your sent items folder, you will not be able to open it and
you will see a warning saying that your file might contain a virus.
DON'T FREAK OUT. Many hackers use ".mdb" files to spread viruses
and e-mail clients do not allow users to see ".mdb" files. Don't worry,
I'll be able to open it. Just make sure that you have attached the file
and have e-mailed it to my e-mail (my correct e-mail, that is).
