Hi, Peter,

Thanks very much for your time. Its my fault. I should be more careful to use your
program. By the way. Does my boss at drexel send out the register fee to you? I will
ask him to pay it if he doesn't since he promised me to pay it. I am not with him
now so I couldn't check it in person, but I did send several emails to mention him 
without reply from him.

Best regards.
