Hi Ilan,
Interesting about the collisions, I hadn't heard that one before. I'm
interested to hear more info as you get it.
RE: the nice compliments. Thank you. As for a vacation, I wish! Actually,
I'll do a couple weeks of marketing before I go back to technical matters
unless a whopper shows up.
Regs,
John
