CD Exchange - Netfirms

Dear Dr. Bolyvong,
I'm glad that we've got things worked out.
Incidentally, I've sent you the CD already. I think you
will find it useful for future development of the
panyasin web site.
Please feel free to update or modify panyasin as you
see fit. I am going to remain dormant for awhile, and
will assist with the technical aspect and small
fundings of the site on and off.
I will talk to you later. Someday, I'd love to hear
more about your days as a young Lao student studying
abroad back when very few Laotians were given the
privilege and honor to do so.
Hakpang,
Thaksin

Dear Thaksin,
I'm glad you have found the answer to my original
question, were able to fix the problem, and to learn
that the website can be maintained almost indefinitely
and at no cost. I think we can live with the flying
banners (at least for now). Since the site is up and
running again, there no need for you to send me the CD.
I'm sure we will find some way to revive the site and
make it useful to our community some time in the near
future.
Thanks again for your efforts. The FTP has now been

configured to download updates directly to
www/muanglao. So, I hope there will be no further
inadvertent erasures.
Regards,
Bolyvong Tanovan
