Good to hear that all is well with you and the little one, this is a
great time in your life as you are the most important thing in her life,
soon it will be toys, games, tv, music, etc...Give her as much love and
attention as you give us and she will always love you twice as much as
we do!

Thanks for the update and direction. Sorry about my lack of presence
here it's just that I have only two months to accomplish all my
non-production hour upgrades, i.e. upgrading Groupwise to 7.02 on
SLES10sp1, installing new TeraByte storage drive, etc....
