Right now, I think Susan has me from 1-2, right after
lunch, but I'm not sure. The OOUG web site is a

But Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt... you were always scheduled at either the same
time *I* was presenting (trust me, I'd rather have gone to yours, I get
stage fright) or when at LEAST 2 other presentations I wanted to see
equally as much were there.
Um, what time are you presenting at OOUG? My flight home is at 5, I
have to leave around 2:30 or so....
