But there's nothing like being the guy (or gal) walking up to present, and seeing 2/3 of the audience leaving. I usually sit in row 2. I don't want to have to focus on the presenter through 20 rows of chatter. That said, I often use my laptop to view the presentation PDF, so I can stare/scroll/browse in a way that helps _me_ learn. Good luck yanking my connection; I'll just vote with my wallet, and your registration fees will go up. pt _______________________________________________ Nanog-futures mailing list Nanog-futures@nanog.org http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog-futures
