Richard are you lying now, post #33626 or in your post #31983 where you confirmed the laptop offer with Anthony. I have an idea? Why don't you get off your high horse, buy some laptops, and head over to Skopje with them. My laptop did a lot more good for TV-ERA in allowing me to stay in contact with the foundations I am trying to get to give grants to TV-ERA during the time I left Skopje and returned to the States. I have received a ton of private messages about this laptop situation, and I think it clearly shows your credibility leaves a lot to be desired by reading your posts. Also, when someone asks you why you are not crying, and you say that you have been through worse, what is wrong with that. I was depressed about what I saw on the inside, but I just did not show it on the outside. It was a terrible, disgusting situation in these camps, and I am going to continue doing what I can with my connections to help a small part of all this, TV-ERA, the voice of the Albanian refugees in Skopje. I would make another trip on only one day's notice back to Skopje if it was necessary to accompany a foundation member to give them a tour of TV-ERA and the other projects Avdulla is involved with.

He confirmed he has taken me up on an offer to replace his laptop if he leaves it in Yugoslavia for an agency to match all the lost refugees with their missing family members. Thanks to all of you have PM'd me that want to participate. It's an immediate way to help in a very positive way. Please post or PM me, if you wish to be added to the list. I hope none of us are ever living in an open field in the winter, not knowing if our loved ones are still living or where they are.

Anthony had better things to do at that time than to discuss the laptop matter with me. I was , of course, planning to ask the question. However rest assured, I have not taken a dime or check, and have advised all, and there were many generous souls, that I would let them know when I learned the full details. I only kept a list. If Anthony did not have a laptop to give up, (which was my conclusion not something he told me), the matter is history. In any event , we were trying to be helpful. It appears Scanshift, in any event, did not leave his in Kosovo. Anthony did tell me Scanshift commented, while all around were in tears in the camp, that "He had seen worse". Scanshift acknowledges this in his post. I think I'll side with the tough guy who is not afraid to shed tears.
