Hi Mel,

>I just received the 1/2 payment, so like you say I am going to just mark it up to experience.

Well, that's good news. Maybe not what you bargained for but hey, just get on with something else now.

>How is everything on your side of the big pond?

I am working for an insurance related organisation - developing in VFP, SQL server and C#. Its going pretty well given that the contracting work I had pretty much dried up. Working for a big company sure does give you exposure to lots of new technologies and that part I am enjoying.

>Have you heard from our buddy in Brazil lately?

Not recently but, Ivan is doing VB.Net and MM.Net - I am certain he will surface pretty soon <s>.

Glad you're OK Mel.

Later
