Well....best laid plans of mice and men, as they say. We were just having -way- too much fun here at IBM today going over the new ORTE design, planning for future scalability changes, etc., so American decided to cancel my flight back home! So thoughtful!
I will be spending my Wed (hopefully!) enroute back home. It looks like it will be Thurs before I can do the merge. My apologies to all - but I would really rather not try to do it from a notebook computer in an airline terminal!
