Hi Vic, Saw an email on the ASLML re the new issue being out but it's not landed here? Have I too missed on resubbing? Let me know if I need to sort anything. This email is still the correct one but if for any reason you got a bounce let me know and try [email protected]? Cheers A On 30/08/2016 02:49, Vic Provost wrote: > Hello to all my ASL Comrades.
