All I can add is "here-here!"  Jerry did an excellent job.  Although I could
not attend as many as I would have liked (duty calls - and I challenge any user
to trade places with a vendor to get a better appreciation of these folks too!)

Absolutely... from someone who has become very intimate with this subject
matter of late.

I must apologize for not making it to this luncheon - but I had to have lunch
with two folks from HP to discuss "Apps-On-Tap", since it looks as though our
company will become very close with this as well for at least one new customer.
Hopefully my apologies and regards made it to the group, but of not, please
accept these belated ones.

(Given past years, I'm sure my seat did not go to waste ;-)

Many thanks to the entire Conference Committee - including Denys as well.  This
has got to be one of the best HPWorld's I've attended.

Of course next year will be great, as BSEPA (a/k/a Philadelphia) will be a
perfect host city.  Just blocks from the birthplace of the USA and many other
historical places, lots of shopping and if the Marriott next door to the PA
Convention Center is the HQ hotel, you will not need to walk outside to get to
the show - just a short walk over a walkway over 12th Street.  (More
information on this will be forthcoming next year, as we get closer, I'm sure).

Regards,
Joe
