Peter -
I wish I would have done better at school. I certainly didn't "apply" myself.
Could have.
I don't know as much as nearly all the rest of the folks here, and unfortunately, pride is not my friend, so I can't so readily speak to that other than to tell you that there's absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to share successes with others.
Dealing with my own personal life, I struggle with anything being an issue of pride, since pride can be so deadly.
That said, what you've done is something worth acknowledgement and
for a great job.
Keep up the great work.
(Now go get a Mac contract for the school district now that you're a
celebrity.
)
Take care, Peter.
Chris
