Marshall - what a GREAT IDEA! I wish I could make that long of a journey with my family, given the limited vacation time I will have this summer... I especially like the idea of the techinal seminars - I haven't seen this before, and I sure would like to be able to spend time one-on-one with any of the great technical resources we have here on the list! Good luck with the event and I hope it is still going strong by time I can attend.
