[kictanet] merry xmas and great new year @2010 Not Yet Uhuru

[Wainaina Mungai]

Hi Barrack....

We surely have teething problems...but we are atleast happy the white
tips of teeth are breaking through the soft red toothless gums of that
haven't tasted the 'real stuff'.

We'll chew & enjoy the githeri & nyamachoma benefits...of ICTs in the new year.

Have a toothy new year! ;-)
Wainaina

PS: All analogies used here may be blamed on the festive season.
