Thanks for doing the talk!

Next time we could use VNC for a remote desktop view (if we get a router
that works with the hotel network).  Actually, since the projector can run
Linux or Windows to display the VNC screen, we could have done it.  Only
the remote demo machine has to be BeOS / Haiku.

Or even do a video conference, so you could see us or vice versa.  Maybe make a
media kit component network pipe which we could run compressed video through.
Or use VLC's server side.  We already have streaming MP3 for audio (or a
telephone with a calling card to save on money).  Video could be the next 
step...
