The job hunting has taken an exciting twist the past few days. At this stage it’s lookinh good but still a lead nevertheless. Will discuss more with you offline (or Skype).

As far as Manam – I think we’ve lost him. Might have to invest in another cat as the local rat population is on the increase!

Don't be discouraged on the Open Source front. It is still by far the best technology for places like PNG - have a chat with someone who runs an internet cafe there and find out how often they have to rebuild their machines due to virus/malware problems.Email me direct and I'll share a few tips with how I picked up heaps of private business in the Solomons!!
