Hi Jonathan. Are you ok? Did we stress you out? (lol) I don't use gps myself so I don't know how it is here in the us. On another subject related to the bn, I sent you an email about the planner and activesync, but I made a mistake and used Dean's name instead of yours. I think he has forwarded it to you though, but don't be surprised if you find yourself being called Dean on some of it. sorry about changing your identity! Richard aka the master identity changer!
