Thanks so very much. The company I work for employs people from all over the world.
Currently "No Penguins" is written in Japanese, Chinese, French, English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Farsi.
I realize that this may seem odd and I still have a few more to go but hey, you gotta have some kind of fun at work.
Thanks again,
Bob
