The brainboost.com phenomenon hits the next dimension!

[John Esak]

Tony,

You are one of the people I _wish_ was there... our great Aussie
contingent... so funny, because you are on so often usually. Heck, he'll be
back and others. Well, hell, you know how great the Room can be, you and I
have solved lots of problems together haven't we. I always look forward to
talking with you.

John
