Hi Cecil,

I am seriously considering it for the exact same reasons you cited. I was a regular at Whilfest and this looks to be a good replacement. I am waiting on final confirmation of a couple of other October trips (Japan and England).

Hope to see you there.

Well, okay, I wanted to go to a VFP conference, but didn't want to spend the beaucoup bucks at DevCon, as I am an independent developer.
