There were only 400 or so seats available in the auditorium, and Microsoft invited 43,000 people. It didn't matter much if you'd been invited and confirmed that you were going, because only a few hundred people were registered on the Microsoft database! Worse it was hosted by "trendy" TV presenter Jonathan Ross who's knowledge of computers is probably as good as my cat's! (Only joking Mr Ross) Now, where did I put the phone number for DR? -- // Conrad Longmore / Uucp: ..!ukc!axion!tharr!conrad / All opinions // // Academic SysAdmin / Janet: tharr!conrad @ uk.ac.ukc / stated are // // Bedford College / Or try: conrad @ tharr.uucpi / belong to // // Computer Centre / Linenoise research a speciality / someone else // // ** T H A R R ** / Free access to Usenet in the UK / * 0234 841503 *//
