Hello everybody, You may have been wondering why I have be so, so quiet for the past month or so. The fact is that I was away for the entire month of September and although I was able to get occasional Internet access, I had no possibility to update the list and make the changes of emails, etc. that so many have asked me to do. When I got back, my modem went on t blink and after sometime trying to get hold of my IT guru, it turned out that the modem itself had shorted, probably because of a thunderstorm. Then, we tried to connect a new modem but I had lost my secret username and it took almost two weeks to convince my provider that I was a bona fide subscriber! Unfortunately, the temporary connection my son lent me provides very little coverage in this little corner of heaven that is the far north of Portugal. As of this morning, however, all is fine and I have my machine back from the guru and am about to connect it all up. Thank you all for your patience - I will do my best to post an update and newly updated database Sunday evening. All the best, Magdalena -- MAGDALENA GORRELL GUIMARAENS Member of Council for the Portugal Region AIIC - International Association of Conference Interpreters [email protected] http://www.mgorrell.eu
