markets. 60 partners attended the event which was started by mourning the death
of three dealers in the past eight months-AH Saleem of Compu Soft Systems, SG
Ponnarasu of Addons Computers and Senthil of Computer Solutions.

Director, eCaps; A Dhanasekar, President, Coimbatore IT Association (CITA); Raaj
Gopal Dakka, Branch Manager, Rashi Peripherals; K Ravichandran, President,
