Hehe, Mam, is fine. Sir is also correct for either gender if called to attention or in answer to a direct order. Like Aye Aye, Sir! But this is a personal note of thanks and a job well done.

There is something else I wanted to say, but for the life of me, I cant remember. I, ah, ah..............

Hear that Brink? Its the sound of CPU Fans! I love the sound of CPU fans. There is no sound like it..... It reminds me of the fight back in grid.org, where every result, every point, every hour of CPU time was met with a salute.

You know, I cant quite place it though? That whirring? But to me, there's nothing like waking to the sound of CPU fans in the morning. It seems to sound like a call. It sounds like?... It sounds like?..... victory.

You know soldier, someday this will all be over. Every work unit complete. In heavens name, what will we do?
