Me too! I'd particularly like to hear about the animation toolset and the new
sound tools. Also, I'd like to know the date of the Fest next year (assuming 
there is going to be one) so that I can go.(I couldn't og to this one because
plane tickets are $600 when you try to order them the week before :)

Okay, Dave, I'm curious. What advice WOULD you give for debugging these
particularly CDevs? I'm working on one right now, and it's a REAL pain in
the but to debug. Also, NDA and Init debuggin would be of interest, as I'm
working on those, too.

Will this 'special' version be avaliable to us common folk, or is it too
special?

Speaking of disks given out in KC, is there any way to get copiies of these?
II heard there were going to be some nice ones distributed, and I wanted to
take a look at some of the stuff....
