Tonight's cybercast is brought to you by Susan Williams.

Hello you crazy cybernauts out there, this is Susan Williams signing in from on top of Kilimanjaro. Well, not quite on top yet, we plan to be there tomorrow night. Anyway, we've had a great day today. We climbed to 14,000' and came back down again to 12,000' where we are resting solidly now after having a great dinner.

At this point we would like to perform our artistic part of the night and we have a song we'd like to sing for you.... Transmission fails.

[Calls back] And now stand by for postscripts, your favorite time of the evening.

Hi, this is Matt and I'd like to say hi to my folks in Youngstown, as well as all my friends at Microsoft and my girlfriend Ellen.

Hi Andy and Debbie, this is Susan, give a kiss to Bruce and Bruno for me.

I'd like to say hi to Alexandria, my granddaughter Lexi and I thank you for all the time we spent climbing around the hills with you bouncing around in the Gerry pack and now you can start calling me [inaudible] which is Swahili for grandfather. And please tell grandmama from grandpapa, that grandpa still has a little bit of stud left in him.

Nana and Bob put this place on your list, Gran and Steve don't put this on your list, but make your summit being great parents. And to all my pals at Raleigh, Schwarz and [inaudible] say hi and you might think I'm nuts up here but this is better than [inaudible].

Hey Buddy, keep the originals, I love you guys. This is [inaudible] and we're having an unbelievable time. See you in a couple weeks, take care.

Hi, I'd like to say hi to Shari, Chris, Suzanne and everyone at [inaudible] who is following our adventure here. [transmission fails]....
