I complained loud, long and often about last year's MR - the principle response from Interex was to change the description so as not to guarantee that all posted questions would eventually be answered (in other words create an out). As far as I know, nothing publicly has been said by HP or Interex about the Interex/HP love fest that started the MR and wasted so much of the allotted time. Like, are they going to do the same thing again this year? I swore last year I would not go again, but have since reconsidered my position. Taking a page out of the protest demonstrations of my youth, I will go to the MR and sit up front. But, if after ten minutes I decide that the format has not changed from last year's Infomercial to something more in keeping with the concept of a dialogue and exchange of ideas, then I will walk out. We are paying too much money and our time is too valuable to waste an hour on nonsense. I hope others will take the same "give 'em another chance" approach. See if anyone is really listening.

"Infomercial" would be more like it - most of us had to pay for the privilege... Joe
