RE: Wineconf 2004, otherwise known as...

[Steven Edwards]

Hey Jer,
I will try to be there. I can't speak for the rest of the ReactOS
developers but I think we may have one or two that would like
to come.

I have always wanted to see the Russian Winter so I guess
St. Paul in January is good practice.

Thanks
Steven

Well, "the Russian Winter" is a common exaggeration, like
a stray bear in every russian town, a hidden communist in
each russian, and many others :-)

Never been to Russia, but I guess it depends where you
live -- Russia is a very big place... I've met people
from Siberia and even St. Petersburg, and things seem
to be rather tough! :)

I notice vodka isn't in that list of common exaggerations - party on! :)

It's included in the list of "many others" :-) But, well, that's just
a beverage which helps to survive a russian winter :-)
