I love this tale unfolding...forgot about our agreement in 1998 to rotate between different continents.<BR>
Well, we didnt make the UN but certainly have a good track record on rotating....seems that we will have been to 3 of the 5 continents and the 4th coming into view.<BR>
Is there a contact person for the OSonOS in Goa/India, a date??<BR>
Joelle, please did out that foto, we can put it into the open space-museum on www.openspace.pl (you should take a look, its just opened and waiting for more artifacts).<BR>
hugs<BR>
