It's very even and you can analyse the group in whatever way you like. You can look at us and say we've two home games to go with a game in Cyprus in between. Then you can look at France and say they are capable of winning three matches with the fantastic players they have.

I don't feel under any undue pressure. Every match we play there's pressure on us to get a good result. There is expectancy, hope, and people want to see us get to the World Cup.

This has all been quite a whirlwind. This took a lot of us by surprise, but we need to defend this seat for the Democratic Party.

I think all of us kind of realize that we can compete with her and we have the last couple of months.

Chase Moline has done a great job. Hale has done well, too. Both those guys have helped us and we like the other guys, too. The defense should just get better.

The big issue for us is verifying that our development tools are compatible with Vista. Since most of our tools are Microsoft applications, that shouldn't be much of an issue. We are, however, using a lot of key third-party applications from smaller companies that might not provide Vista compatibility right out of the gate. This could be problematic.
