One last thing. First come, first serve - I try to say yes (or no) within a week from receiving a request so you can imagine that once the money is gone, I can only say no. So email me sooner rather than later! If you're unsure - ask. Paraphrasing a Dutch saying: 'no' you already have, 'yes' you could get. > Cheers, > Jos -- Disclaimer: Everything I do and say is based on my view of the world today.
