As I keep explaining to my wife, her in-laws are much better than mine :->.

Kind regards,

Gee.  Have I been too subtle lately?  I guess I should get moving on this :-)

Fortunately, Adager is a benevolent tyranny.  So, without further ado, YOU
also get an Adager MemoCube (Guatemala vintage, given the fact that you
honored us with your presence at my home in Guatemala a few winters ago).

For those who don't know Nick, he was the driving force behind the
Boston/90 movement that reinvented IMAGE.  Nick also reinvented himself
after a horrendous automobile accident that would have totally silenced a
less-resilient person.  And last, but not least, Nick is Denys's father in
law.

I mention all of this to show that I don't give away Adager MemoCubes in a
casual fashion.  Recipients MUST earn them by really doing something
outstanding for the HP3000.
