Re: FIND Dr.NUÑEZ LETTER HERE!

I'd be glad to join in the flooding of congressmen's mailboxes with this
letter. Gimma an address and I'll shoot one to all I can. :)

Except, I just don't see America making the conversion.... MS is too
embedded here I think. Developing countries would be the best to start with
this.... Like Afghanistan! They need computer networks... Lets get them
hooked up! :)
