Awful
Jul 31, 2008
I'm very sorry to hear what happened to our colleague Bryan - that is awful. Loosing your computer is probably one of the worst things that can happen to a translator. Having your belongings stolen while helping someone in need just adds insult to injury. I'm not sure if your posting here is going to help but you never know (hoe een koe een haas vangt). Good luck to Bryan.
