Bill: Maybe you missed my "just returned from the conference note" ...

Re: the presentation: There were approximately 35 people in the room, and I saw about half a dozen VIAS faces there. There was very little interaction between the crowd and the presenter, until the question and answer session. Then, there were 3 folks who had questions ... myself included. Other than that, not much interest. Typically, there are some folks who go up to talk with the presenter afterwards, but not this time. Could have been affected by the fact that lunch immediately followed. Those attendees love to eat ...
I passed the demo booth several times. There were frequently a couple people mingling in the area. Lining up? No. But, remember that I saw this on Wednesday, the 3rd day of the conference. Maybe the lines formed early. Don't know.
There were 4 people available to man the booth. The gentleman who demo'd for me, a Marketing Communications Rep" (a nice young lady who gave me her card, then became very interested in my actions after she surmised that I was an investor, not a client), the techie who supported the presentation, and, of course, the VP of Development. The techie and VP were discussing something across the hallway with one of the VIAS bigwigs while I was being demo'd.
