>You were more relaxed in Sydney, the presentation had a better flow. Maybe the fun video got you in the mood. The demos were better too. So your own suspicions would appear to be correct! Good luck this year. I won't be able to make it to USA again. Maybe next year :-) CU Then.
I think the biggest factor was that I had more time, so there were more demos. At Southwest Fox, it was during lunch and many people were up getting food at the buffet, talking to vendors, etc. That setup will change for Southwest Fox 2005 with a normal evening keynote. Thanks for your feedback.
I watched the movie Jaws last weekend, probably for the 20th time but I hadn't seen it in a few years. VFP demos are like good movies, fun to watch again and again. :) See you around at the next event we are both at.
