<br>
A great pity to hear this. There are other excellent
candidates, but you<br>
are one too!<br>
<br>
What precisely is the issue with Ghana and Adobe?<br>
<br>
As an Ubuntu user I have also had my issues with Adobe, but
I have<br>
managed to sort them out, mostly.<br>
<br>
Is it the call in function that does not work in Ghana? I
recall having<br>
been in Adobe meetings with people from Ghana, but perhaps
they were not<br>
there at the time.<br>
<br>
Please tell us more.<br>

Thanks<br>
