Hi Bill,

When can he be contacted? I have a pretty good experience with Mandrake. 
Where is he from? PRobably I can help him.

I got an e-mail form him this alst week-end asking for a phone-call. Well, 
my weekend was pretty busy so I answered to him by e-mail.

Today I go back home early. Any chance he is living near Chapel Hill?

I can  probably fix the dual boot thingy.  Last time I used a modem was 
1997, but I can try. And I have never used Emacs.  Probably vim and/or 
Kdevelop will do the trick for him *grin*.


Salut,
Sinner
