Hi Phil,
Really long time, I hope this finds you well and keeping busy. I am
very happy you like the App. I have just got back from the Safaricom
Office, where I have dropped off my Ipad, and they have arranged to
transfer a working copy on a closed line with My Digital Earth. Once I
get this (tomorrow or Friday) I can go through and do some quality
control that hasn't as yet taken place. It's been such a long time
since PNG, I sort of miss it, but there is still so much novel stuff
out here plus intermittent excitement like this!
Steve,
Thanks so much for letting the Australian scene know that we are back
on track. I have now heard from Bloomsbury with profuse apologies and
we are also moving ahead there.
Best to all
Brian
