A nice letter

Dear Tom:

I just read through your "Cell Phone Basics" article and wanted to say thank you for the information. I work for a national carrier, nothing special, just lower management in a call center. I want to work in the cellular industry and am currently working my way through school as well as building contacts in the industry. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for the great resource. I learned more about cellular technology in the last 3 hours than I have since I became interested in the field. Thank you for your time and efforts, best of luck.

Thanks, a reader

Thanks to you! Mark van der Hoek has checked many of my wireless articles, without his invaluable help I could not accurately describe cellular radio. I used to archive my happy e-mail here (internal link), perhaps I should add more.
