Bernie, That part of your notes was already posted:

The part that I'm trying to recall is if DR indicated that a compound identified under the SBH Alliance would enter the clinic this year. I seem to recall that that was a possibility, but can't find it in a post.

>>If someone wants to suggest which is the best easy to use recorder & tape set, I'll be happy to buy one & try to learn how to use it.<<

Bernie, using a tape recorder is a lot easier than using a computer. You can do it! If you are going to spend the time, money and trouble to go to these conferences, you ought to have a good record of what goes on there, for yourself as well as for us!! Just go to a good electronics store like Circuit City or something and tell the salesman you want a compact, hand held recorder with a good internal microphone that is efficient, simple to use and reliable. Bring 4 double A alkaline batteries with you to the shop and ask him to demonstrate for you how to use it right there. Watch how the batteries are placed. Watch how the cassette is placed.Then do it yourself until you've got it down.

A few things to be aware of when taping lectures and the like: (1) always put in 4 (assuming that's what it takes) new alkaline batteries before recording an important talk, to make sure you don't run out of recording power during the lecture. (2) Try to get a long playing tape, so you will not have to turn it over in the middle of the talk. (3) You may or may not need a small external plug in microphone to capture sound at a distance--ask the salesman. (4)you may or may not need to place the recorder about 10 feet or so from the speaker before the talk begins and then retrieve it later-- again ask the salesperson to demonstrate how the recorder works at a distance from the sound.

This is all very simple with a bit of practice! And usually people are flattered when you want to record something they say--so it may give you an opportunity to make a connection. I am sure by now they must have recorders you can just hold in your hand without any need for an external microphone or which need to be placed near the speaker. Good luck!
