Also, please post this one, or tell those of us who
are unable to attend the conference because of
software problems (I have Mac and the software isn't

The most people at any conference on the site I have
attended was when
Stephen Baum gave his talk on the history and future
of scanning in the Tech
Talk room. The highest number I saw was 48 people,

can't take any more,
Captain." <smile>
