Dear marc and all,

Thank you very much for that quick support, I'm amazed at the speed at which
this was done.

I have been a little out of the loop, less than usual time for email the
last 2-3 days ..

Marc, thanks a lot for your initiative in pulling this of,

I may be 2-3 weeks before I resolve the paypal issue with the belgian
authorities, but as soon as that bureaucratic process is over, I will access
the fund to buy the new netbook, any extra's will go to extra memory,

In the meantime, I'm accessing the office computer, and on occasion, some
extra hours in a cybercafe, so I'm surviving well. Since I'm always also
prepublishing/post-dating material for the blog, I always have an advance to
cope with crisis moments of lower productivity,

Michel
