I myself got a bit worried about the mailing. I suppose you should be graduating soon. I am at Supercomputing in Portland. Did not see anybody of CMU while last time there was lots of folks from CMU. The intent behind the mail business was to leave the ATT credit card at a US address while forwarding all other business directly to Europe. I expected to secure a valid credit history in case I come back. The other thing is that Mastercard Vendors in the mail ordering business start to discriminate about foreign Master Cards because our beloved Russian criminals managed to put up entire virtual MasterCard companies with faked approvals and everything. It is a pretty sad story. I realise that the home address of your credit history is also generating tons of junk mail. I will see what I can do to fix it. Thomas can bring back the mail for me. I did him lots of administrative favors recently. Solong Tom
