Hey... speaking of the Symposium.....
What's the status of the tapes/pics etc. to be online.
There was a lot of folks that offered to help, but none was taken.
There was a lot of good information at that Symposium that a lot of
folks could use.
I suggest let's get this done or give it to someone who has time. We
are all willing to help. The tapes just sitting in a drawer is a waste.
Thanks,
Kevin
