Hello Friends,
First and foremost let me say thanks to everyone that expressed concern and curiosity about my lack of activity for the past 6-7 days. You see I was out of town for the past 6-7 days (although it was not necessarily a vacation but rather more of a religious obligation). So, secondly, let me apologize for not giving everyone a heads up prior to the fact. In retrospect I should have given everyone sort sort of info before just disappearing.
I am indeed back and in fine health alhumdulilah. I just got home so inshAllah I will continue reviews (GOTD or otherwise) and other postings tomorrow.
Take care,
Ashraf

Have a very Merry Christmas Ashraf!
Nice to see you back.
Someone should open a thread/post about how to punish you for letting us worry so much !
(very glad you are fine :-)
@jumbi: Hmmm, me thinks we sign him up as a subscriber on “4 Free on the Internet” … that’ll learn him! :) Good to have you back, brother!
Thanks Ashraf.
We really missed you on dottech.
Hope you had a wonderful time those days.
Merry Christmas to you and all dottechies.
Baruch Atah Adonai and so it ever shall be Deo volente
@ ashraf:
Glad you’re OK: you had us worried for a minute back there, not least because no software developer I’m aware of has yet created a Virtual Ashraf app for when the real thing seems no longer to be present.
Best wishes to you & yours and to all dot tecchies everywhere: here’s hoping 2010 will be as happy as it’s healthy — and if it’s prosperous as well, then please post your address details here for receipt of begging letters. . .
:-)
Welcome in our computers life. Again with appreciation for your work and the pertinence of your reviews. I have learn so much… Thank you and merry Christmas
Good to see you Ashraf! I’d come everyday to DotTech but there were nothing new for a few days…I got worried, I thought it was the end of the world! Why isn’t Ashraf here! WAAAAAA!
I missed you =P
missed you Ashraf
takabal ALLAH
Great to have you back – the gap has been refilled.
I have never commented/and or given a response on this site but have followed your reviews for close to a year now. Anyway, it’s high time that I say “thank you” for all your time, work. and dedication you put into your reviews. Where you find the time to do such a thorough job on so many pieces is beyond me!! Many times your info on a certain matters has been a real eye-opener. Keep up the good work and know that there are alot of us out here that have quietly followed what you do and want you to know we appreciate you.
WELCOME BACK
WORRIES ARE OVER
LETS CELEBRATE NOW
HAPPY X-MAS REALLY

Ashraf,
Merry Christmas (in my tradition), and the same in your tradition.
Good to see back Ashraf, and Merry Christmas.
What’s up with all these middle eastern expressions?
Glad you are back Ashraf. We are all dead worried about you. I have been coming back to dotTech every day afew times to look out for you. Glad that you are safe and sound. Take care Brother.
Next time, bring a laptop! Happy Holidays, Ashraf!
@Pete: What a strange – and might I say unnecessary – comment. It’s called the worldwide web. We come from all parts of the world. These are terms of respect (and not just in the Middle East). Would you prefer blanket god-bless Americanisms?
PS. The “Middle East” is not some amorphous mass. And “Middle Eastern” is not a language, as in “middle eastern expressions”.
Sheesh, when will we be beyond this type of rubbish?
A day without mail from Ashraf is disappointing! Welcome back and Happy New Year to you!
Great that your back!
Hope you had a good rest , and thought long and hard about our ……………
Welcome back! Glad everything is OK!
Welcome back!…we were all worried about you. What a relief to know you are back safe & sound.
Good to hear you are back.
