Jon,I got a reply from you on my "testing" mail from March 22nd... sent another mail to the same address on March 24th. Did you receive it?

Tom,Yes, I got it. My sincere apologies for not replying straight away but I was out of the office for a few days and your email got lost behind 172 others (like my phone messages...)! BTW, Clare loves the movies too. I usually take her to about 6 per year (and she goes with her friends to about 6 more).At this rate, I may not have to present the paper in Chicago at all (due to limited presentation time - the organisers overbooked...) so I may have a couple more days to play. I'll know more in about 3-4 weeks' time.I'll reply (from the email) tomorrow, after the current tender goes in. Right now, I'm only here 'coz it's lunchtime. Or it was... bother!:-waveRegards,**************Jonathan Point**************"I'd rather be down here wishing I was up there than up there wishing I was down here"
