    thanks for the great presentation.
    I live 30-minutes drive from the great pyramids; now when I visit the area next time, things will certainly look different; also when I help building a piece of software, my perspective will also be diferent.
    Mark, if you will be reading the comments here, and whenever you are in Egypt next time, I will buy dinner :)
