Salam Anmar,

Well, it is better than nothing -- but it is not what I would rather
have. Then again, beggars can't be chosers, eh ;)

I have a few concerns:

1. How valid is Mr. John's email to us? i.e. should he change jobs,
change heart, how does his email help us?

2. Bandwidth (big one) -- what does it mean? Don't use too much can mean
different things to different people. I would like to be able to put
some items for download.. if we can get a 'range' of what is acceptable
it would be easier for us to gage ourselves accordingly. Otherwise I am
not in favor of leaving things like that in the air.

3. 30-day notice is a bit short. If it could be a 60-90 day notice it
would be a lot more feasible. But I realize it could be a little more
difficult to get more out of it as is.

In all cases, time to set the timetable for the move!

Regards
