I share with you the invitation to the next ACURIL conference
(with a theme which should inspire most of you) and the invitation
to a speech which makes me feel very good :-) and I will accept,
hoping they cover the expenses.

De, ¿porque no darle la prioridad a ACURIL2006 sobre CSA2006
(aunque uno no empide el otro) y esperar que much@s
Cardicisian@s daran a Aruba la oportunidad de ser un lugar
de encuentro?

Danielle, voici une conférence qui rentre exactement dans ton profil :-).
