Likewise, George. You've long been a respected source of valuable information here on the UT, and it was great to finally talk to you in person at Whilfest. One of the best things about a conference is the opportunity to get to know and to share experiences with one's fellow developers. It's especially gratifying to know it had tangible benefits for you this time.

>BTW, I touched base with Whil today. As I recall, the name of the booth next to his was "Vision Data Solutions" (Drew Speedie, et al). Did you alreay contact them regarding the image of you and I talking?

I've e-mailed Drew and asked if he knows who might have taken that picture.

>BTW2: The new photo is great. What is it about guys from C-U? Is the first digital picture always bad?< g,d&r >

ROFL. Yeah, the first one was taken at arm's length with one of those little cameras that's designed to sit on top of your monitor. I should probably have saved it as "MyFirstPicture.jpg" < vbg >.
