[Icom] Recovering 761 had SARS

Fri, 25 Apr 2003 06:47:07 +0800

Hi William,

Very nice to see your effort and determination to recover your IC761.  We,
Hong Kong people, are also using the same determination to fight against the
SARS.  Our medical partitioners are working day and night though the senior
government officials i.e. policy makers are not proactive enough.

After reading your messages, I feel I should make up my mind to repair my
ICPS35 internal power unit which has been left aside for some months.

SARS is a cunning virus. If you suspect anyone, please keep away.   Clearly,
it is very safe to read my email because there is no evidence that SARS can
pass to others via email -  ha ha!!

73 & take care.
