I'm on GMT -03:00, so what's the time for me?? 5pm ? debro ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Raby" <daleraby@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <openbeos-cdt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 1:58 PM Subject: [openbeos-cdt] Re: Names > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > I concur.
