After reading his reply to my email I figured out he
was using this for business which is why he has all
the clocks etc.  That makes more sense..  I know its
not a personal attack, no offense taken.

My clock comment was funny...the whole paco
thing..etc..I was going to throw in a Egyptian name
but I didnt know any common names from someone that
lives in Egypt.  That would have been funny also.

To me it would just 'clog up the screen' so I never
bothered looking into it.  Dont read between the
lines, its not a slam by me on Justin..if it was I
could have worded it better :)
