DeTomaso Mailing List: May 2000, Message #5

Thanks Curt - you deserve a vacation. Given the technical constraints and
lack of high speed bandwidth I am most impressed that you pulled it off.
While the quality and speed was not up to your standards it was still fun to
"check in" and see some of the images. We appreciate it!

regards
Forest Majors
