It's a very nice idea to rotate in the organization, so that we all have fun, and we all work a little sometimes :) The problems is that we are having a currency change in Europe in january. This is driving crazy to many companies and, as I do accounting and management programs for companies (apart from some other stuff), I'm _very busy_ until next year. I can say you that I work 13 hours a day, including saturdays. So I offer myself to organize CCT-4 in february, or CCT-5, what you prefer. ;) José C.
