Something I forgot to ask (blame late night fatigue after wrestling with a
desktop typesetting problem)...
Can anyone suggest anything that should be included and was overlooked? The
proposed demos evolved from Ed Lawson's suggestion and subsequent discussion on
this list, and I don't think I left anything out, but there might be some
additional features and benefits that should be included. If anybody can think
of anything else that should be considered, please call it out ASAP!
For example, I'm wondering if we should add Ferenc's suggestion of a GIS system
to the list. Should we plan to have some systems set up with miscellaneous tools
and applications that might be of interest to specialized niches? Other
possibilities might be video editing, and program development. Any others?
