This just goes to show you what happens when you are in a rush. Brett Gilliam sent me two faxes today and asked me to transcribe them and post them to the net. I gladly did so but was in the middle of my own projects and never thought to click on the spell checker after I hastily copied the faxes. This has resulted in a fair amount of grief being given to him from the many astute readers who took great pleasure in pointing out the many typos. So, let it be known, the typos were all MINE, and his original fax was without blemish! ============= For Immediately Release UWATEC USA INC. announced the appointment of Bret Gilliam as the new chief Executive Officer on April 23rd, 1996.
