During the period August 19th - 27th 2003 we have experienced severe problems with our ISP. The Apsis site may not have been accessible during this time and mail messages sent to us may have vanished or bounced. We apologize for these problems and believe them to be resolved at the present time (we have also switched Internet providers). If you tried to contact us during this period and you received no answer it may well be the case that your message was simply lost - we have certainly not ignored it on purpose; please send it again and we'll do our best to answer it at the earliest. -- Robert Segall Apsis GmbH Postfach, Uetikon am See, CH-8707 Tel: +41-1-920 4904
