That depends.  I've seen it, and the sound has some really bad problems in
places.  His talk doesn't give a whole lot of meat, but it's got some
interesting (and sometimes amusing) stories in it, and some pretty neat
graphs and pictures.

As to whether it's worth it:  well, I'm biased.  Seymour is *god*, you see,
so, of course, *I* think it's worth it.  If you're one of those heathens who
only think that he's a brilliant man, then it may not be.
