Ken, and others.<br>
<br>
Dann, your PP presentation is quite timely...both for this discussion and in
the world of Kindles. Thank you for sharing it!<br>
<br>
Someone at a meeting I was in yesterday said that they feel like they are in an
episode of "I Love Lucy" trying to catch the pies before they go off
the end of the conveyor belt. Our work feels that way sometimes, doesn't
it? Trying to get good information out there before things go viral on
us...<br>
