[Leica] Nice to wake up to good news for once...

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

Hi Jerry,
it is 8am here in Japan, and due to the jet lag (it is 3am in the UK I think 
so my brain is confused) I am up and waiting to go to the circuit.
I am doing consulting for Toyota - for about 12 months now. Just on advice 
on priorities and targets. EWe are making steady progress.
cheers,
Frank
