Alfredo,

I had the extra pleasure of meeting Mr. White once at Interex (think it was
San Francisco, 1993).  Please wish him best "retirement" time.   btw, we
shouldn't be shy to use that word.  Retiring doesn't mean stopping all
activities, it just mean starting to use some more time for ourself that for
others...and for some people, it's not even the case... 8-)
