As I had mentioned, I did not visit any sessions. Was there to meet
somebody and took time to walk thru the vendors. The person at Oracle, just
took my card when I asked a question and I never got called back. He
couldn't answer a single question. Go figure.
Was just interesting to see how IT-managers and other attendents behaved
like kids running to the candy. go figure that.
