I heard that the marketing director at Abacus Global Support, Inc. was dying of cancer. He has a last wish to see if he can break the Guiness Book of World Records for the number of sympathy cards received before he dies.

Oh yeah, :-) :-) :-) (I hope I didn't start something...) Robert -- | Robert L.
