[p2p-research] tale of a stolen computer

Thu Apr 30 10:19:17 CEST 2009

Dear all:

Thanks Marc, for your efforts.

Good news is that the first contribution of $100 came in, from Ryan (thanks
a lot Ryan)

Bad news is that the belgian authorities are again messing with my account,
I don't think it precludes getting money, only getting at it, which would
cause some additional delays but I'll have to live with it.

Yes, a netbook would be fine. There are plenty of IT supermarkets here,
Pantip Plaza is legendary and not far away. I may need advice on models once
I can purchase one.

Again thanks for taking it to heart,

Michel
