Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your response. I agree with you. I would love to be famous and
might just do that ;-). This is not my domain at present and I have other
things to worry about in addition to paying my bills with the current job. I
like to work on crazy challenging problem and this seems just the kind of
trouble I am usually looking for.

Regards,
Paresh
