I'll be there (I'm on the program), but my attendance may be a little
restricted.

I'm currently undergoing chemotherapy, and it's likely that I will be
counselled to keep my hours of attendance down to something like four
hours or so.

NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN - I'm not an invalid or otherwise incapacitated;
those stories you hear about side effects of chemo don't apply in my
case. (Well, you can come and see what I look like with my hair
greatly thinned out, if you promise not to snicker.)

But my white cell count will be low, so you gotta promise not to
sneeze on me. And the chemicals they dump in me may slow me a little,
but they won't shut me up, not even slightly.

As we get closer to the date (and we're not that far off already), I
may be able to work out with the organizers what would be the best
time slot to be there. But I will be there fer sure, fer sure.

Take care, Jim. You are one of the heroes of the Commodore world.

I second that.
I sadly and fondly miss the old PET and TPUG days.
I really really do miss them.
And I really miss your leadership in those days Jim.
Best of health...hope you are feeling ok.

Hi Jim,

I want to let you know that you have people all over the world that
admire you, myself for example from Argentina. I wish I could go to WOC
2006 but I cannot.

Just take care Jim.

Nevertheless, do stay well. I hope the chemo is having a *desired* effect
as well as the undesirable ones.

Glad you are winning the fight. Just take care of yourself. You are the
inspiration and heroe to many, including me.
