Welcome back! Glad to hear your Mom's doing OK. >>trying to dig out from under a big backlog of stuff. Maybe I'll be able to contribute to biotech again soon.<< Don't worry about that. Several of your alter egos have been filling in for you, even though they didn't take very good care of the biotechs. For example: Message 22650885 Cheers, Tuck

Welcome back. I read a note recently from a woman in Zimbabwe about the hyperinflation there. The main point was that bread was doubling in price every X days, so the government imposed a price limit. Then -- of course -- there was no bread in the market. 3G wireless must be phenomenal. It allows you to hack all these SI accounts, except your own, posting recommendations for which you don't have to take responsibility. Excellent! Like Dubya, I can't figger out why I can't figger it out. Oh yeah -- forgot to mention -- the world has gotten a little messed up in your absence. Lots of new talk about Dubya Dubya Three.

Welcome back, and best wishes to your Mother. Zimbabwe is a horror story. My sister left after a few years ago. She went out from Britain in 1982, just after independence. I visited her there in the 80's when Zim prided itself in being the leader of Southern Africa - South Africa was still a pariah then. My sister and her husband had a lovely house on several acres in a suburb of Harare. They had bought it for a song from whites fleeing the country post-independence. Mugabe had said some strange things, and there were allegations he was using food-aid during famine in the South as a political weapon, but there seemed an atmosphere of hope. My sister is divorced, remarried and living in Japan. She still owns the house. At first she was able to rent it for a peppercorn rent, then she couldn't find anyone she trusted to live there rent-free. It is now occupied by squatters. Her daughter is affected the worst in that family. She moved to Zim when 3, regards it as her home, and is very sad about how things are. She's in Joburg, at Witts. Everytime she renews her visa, she has to go back to Harare, and this scares my sister silly. My sister's ex-husband moved back to Zimbabwe a couple of years ago after living in the UK a while. It's amazing what some people can cope with - even when there is an alternative. Ashley
