and that too. =) what i really like about him is his way of staying cool as a developer. not all the developers (or hackers if i may) would find the time to actually make an effort to change his/her lifestyle to suit his/her new environment. after moving to the US, his story only got better IMHO. getting exposed to the liberal and more 'bountiful' life (if i may say) has allowed him to grow as a person, and live his life as like how most of us (read: myself) would want to. i mean, get a neat car, buy a nice house, play a little tennis, get out more often, and get a job. with the kids, and the dough (RH stock options...), i'd say life would be enjoyable. talk about good karma points... ;) -- -=[mikhail]=- aka Dean Michael C.
