Re: [cobalt-developers] locate weirdness

["Ontario Web System Administrator" <hostmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rohit,

I guy named Rick gave me a call over your bootcamp and wanted some
information on MCAD. He asked me if we did it in Ontario, I told him it was
all in India...hope I was right. He would like to get information on this
and I told him I would email the information....his email is
info@xxxxxxxxxxx

He was interested in the fast track and ask if it would be worth going to
India and I told him I was planning too....was not sure what to say, so I
bluffed myself through it...haha
