Pat, As far as ASND's future is concerned we should all hope that it doesn't rest solely on the business/political accumen of Mory. Let's fact it Mory's a great guy, but he's the CEO of Multibillion dollar company partially based on luck and partially based on others around him. He's not ever going to knock anyones' socks off with "big ideas" and strong strategic thinking. So, IMHO, I wouldn't go to listen to him speak and expect anything tremendous. What we should expect from him is no surprises - a slow a steady approach with very little excitement or course changes. Gary

Pat, I posted on the breakout sessions questions. You should be able to find them. On Gary's advice I went without a badge, and was not bothered at all. In fact, being the pushy guy I am, I got a bag, with the analysis books and a book authored by the analyst for Robbie on ASND. The book is about the market, not ASND, but I'll still contact the author and try to pump him for information after I at least crack the cover of the book. The breakout session after ASND was CBS Sportline. They brought in baseball caps. I asked for one, they refused unless I stayed for their breakout. I countered with, "but I am bald, and I need to protect my head". I got a hat, too, and left. It never hurts to ask, and forgiveness is easier sought than permission at times. Can you tell I lived in large corporate america for a short time? Dennis
