Hi Ali, Yuri and All, (01)
I am a bit behind in following-up on this matter. (02)
(As some of you might know) I have been traveling out-of-the-country
for the last couple of weeks. I am back in California now, but am
still recovering from the trip. Therefore, allow me to pick up on this
after this weekend. (03)
Regards. =ppy
