I think #1 is better. Thanks LiJ    Liveinjapan Joined on Sun, Feb 4 2007 Osaka, Japan Contributing Member (1,599) Please feel free to correct any words I wrote.LiJ

	Liveinjapan  #382435  Thu, 21 Jun 07 11:23 AM Thank you Paulio The reason, I think, is that #1 could be used for the present and the future, #2 is only for the future. 'Everything' could be ready right now, so #1 is right, isn't it? LiJ    Liveinjapan

	Liveinjapan  #382446  Thu, 21 Jun 07 11:30 AM Thank you Marius I naturally thought #1 is better without consideration. Afterwords, I think twice too much. Your explanation simplified my thought. Thanks again LiJ    Liveinjapan
