Thanks for all your good wishes; looks like they helped me to recover. I still look bad though and my voice reminds you more of a rosty siren but inside I am almost fine! ;-)

Time flies by...I am already 10 days here (missed 4 of them by constant sleeping and running to the toilet). Today (Saturday) is a very important day for us workwise. Since Klaus was also a bit sick we didn't make such a good progress in the beginning. Yesterday we achieved the 1st good sorting results with our little MikroSort. Today we have to prove that the unit can sort emeralds in stabil way. If we succeed today and the sorting results are fine Klaus, Astrid and I are off tomorrow heading for RIO!!!! 5 days we want to stay there and finally recover fully from our diseases! I hope we can go!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we will also go to a bar tonight and get pissed...I think we deserve it!

LET'S HOPE THE MIKROSORT WILL SORT THE EMERALDS!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)
