one last comment before Jared makes me take this to the off-topic list
I never walked out on one of Matt's presentations, I never got to SEE
one of Matt's presentations. He and I will be presenting to the Ohio
Users Group in 2 weeks, I will be able to see his ENTIRE presentation
before I have to leave for the airport.
Not only did I sit through your entire presentation, I even applauded
at the end.
watcha you back, youngster :)
