[Leica] glossy screen iMac problems

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Hi Steve,

No, we are in Prag today, next stop is Dresden, then off to Barcelona to 
hopefully hook up with Lluis and maybe Nathan.  We had a great time in Paris 
last week, but the temps are dropping.  It was quite cool today, but stops 
in the sun helped warm things up.  ;-)  England just will have to wait for 
the next trip.  ;-)
