Re: NARBIK’S BOOTCAMP - A GREAT PERSONAL INVESTMEN

Hi Nickelby,

It is interesting to note that alot of guys agreed with my review, despite
the fact that you even took the bootcamp 2years ago. I think we should stick
this nickname (NARBIK-MOBILE IOS) on him and address him as same if he will
not be offended; just like alias or what do you think guys?

Cheers!
