Bela,

on more than one occasion you have helped me to solve my problems on
some curly SCO OpenServer issues. SCO are losing one of the real
enablers in their business in a technical support capability and I wish
I had a spot for you in my organisation. Hell maybe i need to enlarge
our software development group just to accomodate you!

All the best in finding that perfect job.

Regards
