I've had dinner with him 3 times, at Executive Breifings in Atlanta. I thought it was pretty cool. He would get up and do a demo of something MS was working on the was about 5 years out, we would eat a nice dinner at the Niko hotel in Buckhead, then ask questions and at the end got to line up and shake his hand. There were presidents of large corps like Bell South, Coca-Cola, etc. and a handful of us nerds. My now deceased friend, Frank Paterson, always invited Randy Wallin and me to the shindig which was held during Spring Comdex. I would love to be able to attend those again....

Hey, I got to meet Bill at one of the MVP summits. To be honest, it was big letdown. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/0c9201ca0ee6$99757880$cc6069...@[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
