Likewise! We also intend to advance Ruby commercially.
See: www.regobot.co.il (English translation hopefully
to be completed over the next few days). In all
earnest, Shaul, my sidekick and myself have busied

itself, but we would be pleased to help in any small
way we can as have the fellows (ladies?) at Groovix.
Our warmest pat on the back to James Simmons, Aivils,
Svetlio and all the others who have toiled so much to
bring Ruby to where it is today.
