That was a very lucky find.<br /><br />I have to admit I find the incorporation of the 1 on the 2 key a bit odd myself... I guess I'm fortunate that it was included at all, judging from your story. I do sometimes wish it had been done Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-24034589191379781002011-04-25T17:19:24.555+02:002011-04-25T17:19:24.555+02:00Hi, Adwoa.

What is the likelihood that you go back to old posts on the chance that there might be something new there? One of the beauties of the web is that information stays around forever and yet the sheer volume and freshness of new material hides much of that info.<br /><br />Anyway, I have a couple of observations on your cursive Baby.

If Hermes are as common out there as you say (*sigh*) you should be able to chase up a cover soon. Or not -- no harm, either way, and you get to appreciate the Swiss engineering at work every time you type!mpclemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12807147515549175803noreply@blogger.com
