When I heard about the comdex thing, I assumed that there was finding from O'Reilly. The fact that there wasn't surprises (and disappoints) me. And let me emphasise that this is a completely different issue to fundraising for a gimp conference. dsrogers asked for help to organise a presentation at short notice to the list. As far as I know, he got several good ideas of things to show off there. Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France E-Mail: bolsh@xxxxxxxx
