That is great input .. Thanks MR. Madani .. 

If I may say a secret .. please do not tell anyone ..
I posted my mouse question to revive disussion .. I did not translitrate the 
word mouse, nor I intend to .. but I find it sad that this list is asleep .. 
so why not wake people up :-)

but beside reviving the list .. your input (Everyone) was great .. not we need 
more input in another level :-) The translation level .. where are you Arafat 
Madani, Saif Mosawi, Ibrahim, Jasem, and all the others !? Vecation is over 
:-) it had been a long one ..
