["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian@xxxxxxx>]

Ditto,

I have only been in this game for a few months and Li has been very helpful
as has Phil even to the point of saying Phil will visit me in
Northamptonshire, and is of course very welcome, to advise me on a number
of
issues.

I have also had good support from Craig Chadwick who is the President of
Custom Solutions, Inc. (a.k.a., HomeVision)
mailto:csi@xxxxxxx
http://www.csi3.com

What a good bunch,

(Li, any commission now? :)


Brian Reynolds.

PS anyone else near Rushden Northants? start a local support group?
