It was fun participating in the tournament, and talking to the various opponents that we faced, as well as yourself as I have never spoken to you before. I look forward to the next event, and if Olithink participates, I hope to operate again. It was amazing I was up all day on Saturday as we spent most of the night Friday getting a stable version to work, and a good book :) Peter.
