Happy to help friends. And I'm not a computer guy really. Mostly I run meetings and attempt to overcome the internal friction of an intensely bureaucratic organization. It's a living.

Hullo? Is this thing on?
Best wishes and fair winds to all racers, this year pushing through in the face of (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime difficulties.
