[sustran] Re: On leading edge

[Giselle Xavier]

Dear Carlos Felipe and SUSTRAN list members

I have been following this list for sometime. It is really great.

Because of this message from Carlos Felipe, I want to say:

I do agree we do not need to invest too much money in new things.

Let us benchmark projects and ourselves!

Wish you all peace and love in 2005!

Giselle Xavier.
