Bagyenda I am very grateful that for once you have stood up and claimed your rightful position. As one who has watched Butterfly evolve over the years from when it was first released, I should say I am very impressed by the work done.

Unfortunately I keep telling people that the developers of Butterfly and Mbuni are too shy to say that their products are the best. Did you go for a marketing course lately?
