But, Rachel.. do you really really need that particular presentation? ;)
IMHO... it was a gimmick to get one's attention and fill up the room!!
I am downloading individual presentations that I am interested in, and hopefully, I will have my own CD by the end of this Summer :)

no CD, no printed book. You were sent a link beforehand to all the
presentations and papers online. Of course, you couldn't download them
all in one swell foop and many were changed from what was on the web.
One in particular was completely different than both what was promised
in the abstract and what was posted to the web. I walked out on that
one.
