Di and ???
Devil Bosslady: Gwan, you know you want to!
Angel Bosslady: Oh, but I couldn't. It's so crass.
Devil Bosslady: Yeah, but it'd be fun. Go on, just do it!
Angel Bosslady: Oh my, I just can't!
Devil Bosslady: Be a devil for once in your life. Go ahead. Do it!
Angel Bosslady: But what a cliche. Talk about state the obvious!
Devil Bosslady: They won't mind. And too bad if they do. Everyone will love it.
Angel Bosslady: Do you think so?
Devil Bosslady: Yeah, I know so. Go on, put the label in under that picture. Do it now!
Angel Bosslady: Wellll. If you're sure. Should I? What if.......
Devil Bosslady: Look, just do it, okay? Getting boring here.
Angel Bosslady: Okay..... Here goes...... labelling now.......

Graduation Day June 30th 2008
Friends and family and many supporters came to the magnificent old Eltham Town Hall to witness the Graduation of thirty-seven people from Computers in Homes.
All of the guest speakers acknowledged the huge achievement of the graduates and congratulated them on their success.
The mayor of South Taranaki District, Ross Dunlop, MP Harry Duynhoven, MP Chester Borrows, MP Tariana Turia and National Computers in Homes Coordinator Di Das spoke in a ceremony that graduates will remember for a long time.
Said one graduate: "I thought it was not going to be a big deal. We'd come along, someone would hand us a certificate, we'd all shake hands, have lunch and go home. I didn't even change outta my old clothes.
Then I walked into the hall, and Whoa, it IS a big deal. I was so embarrassed that I was in my old clothes.
It was a REALLY big deal."
