Re: PHP at COMMON

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Larry,

I'd be more than happy to if I were going to be there.  COMMON was moved 
from NOLA into the same time spot at my kids spring break and we're already 
sched'd to be in the smokies that week, so I'm there for the weekend, ask 
the experts evening(which I'm staying over for intentionally) and then 
leaving real early on Monday to join the rest of the family in the mtns...

BTW, Jim, since ATE is now on Sunday pm, are you still putting a 
midrange.com table up?

Reason I suggested they get the BOF on the books now is so that interested 
parties know it's there and can put it on their sched's...
