From the Editor's Desk

Welcome to the latest issue of the High Tech AIDCourier.

Wow, it's that time of year again! Season's Greetings to one and all. As I write this we are only about two weeks away from Christmas Day. Many of you (like me) will be taking some time off during the holiday period and I hope that you all have a great time. For those of you that are looking forward to gifts this holiday period (and aren't we all) I hope you get what you want. I know that mine is already here, but I am not allowed to play with it! (I love electronics.)

On the work front, this has been a good year for many and I hope that your wishes for 2012 all come true. I hope that at least one of the contracts we have pending actually comes through, and that all those who owe money – pay up (just joking but you know who you are ). This has been an interesting year. Next year I will start my tenth year of consulting and I have loved every minute of it.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Seasons Greetings to all.
