Dr M alanding Jaiteh,

you have enough notice so I would strongly suggest a meeting between all three parties as soon as possible somewhere convenient to all of you to see how you can work together during the transition.

In the mean time I would strongly advise you to get all the files backed up NOW not wait till the transfer happens just in case.

remember when I lost my files when my computer crashed . it was a nightmare

Thank you and all the managers of the GL for their work too plus St johns univ.

Where is our good bro Mr Loum ? he was instrumental as was Katim in the begining I remember when we were less than two dozen on line in the late nineties

Thanks again and wasalaam
