I'll be there (I'm on the program), but my attendance may be a little restricted. I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy, and it's likely that I will be counselled to keep my hours of attendance down to something like four hours or so. NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN - I'm not an invalid or otherwise incapacitated; those stories you hear about side effects of chemo don't apply in my case. (Well, you can come and see what I look like with my hair greatly thinned out, if you promise not to snicker.) But my white cell count will be low, so you gotta promise not to sneeze on me. And the chemicals they dump in me may slow me a little, but they won't shut me up, not even slightly. As we get closer to the date (and we're not that far off already), I may be able to work out with the organizers what would be the best time slot to be there. But I will be there fer sure, fer sure. --Jim ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----

I sadly and fondly miss the old PET and TPUG days. I really really do miss them. And I really miss your leadership in those days Jim. Best of health...hope you are feeling ok. Gil

Hi Jim, I want to let you know that you have people all over the world that admire you, myself for example from Argentina. I wish I could go to WOC 2006 but I cannot. Just take care Jim.
