[CLUE-Talk] Jim Ockers, contact me

[Kevin Cullis]

Jim,

Just thought I'd let you know that while you're not gone from us, you're
on a long leash ;-) so we can occasionaly keep in touch. Good luck in
your new digs and maybe we hope to see an article in Linux Journal or
something about what you're working on (unless you consider it a
competitive advantage whereas we know where you are ;-) )

Take care and thanks for all of your help.

Kevin
