Hello Oshiro and everyone, How true and funny is your last statement:
Men go to Europe for beer whileas women for perfume and fashion!LOL I still don't know why there are so many IT guys here,but I know for sure what a relief that you aren't as boring as I suspected when I first joined!!!LOL Don't get me wrong though! Please take it as a compliment as you all seem so versatile,witty,knowledgeable and helpful!;) The IT world is definitely a better place with all these brainstorming activities of yours! Good luck to all IT guys and those who benefit from their contributions like me! Claire P.S.Oshiro,yes,I was extremely scared when I first enetered the prison with so many hostile eyes staring at us from the other side of the world! Moreover,I did have a dramatic change of my perspectives about everything in life...of what people takes for granted when we shouldn't...
