i like how you addressed that to me... i won't be the first to admit that europe is in the tank right now... but things will turn around, a project like that one takes a long time to come together... i hope that during the next six months, blair will wake up a little... i really like his ideas of putting more money into R&D, but he will have to learn the definition of the word "compromise" ... we'll see though... it will be interesting to see how the discussions go with turkey during the next 6 months (even if in the end i dont think turkey will join the EU)... lots of exciting stuff in the coming years...
