I am sorry to say I never made a 'VM Workshop" The company I worked for then participated in MVMUA, SHARE, and the IBM Tech Conferences but not the VM Workshop. By the time I worked for a Company that did go to Workshop (in 1998) the last one had been held at MARIST.

I only attended four of them, I think, but I learned a lot there and made lasting friends within this community. Share and other conferences just aren't the same, and I've never found another conference where you could fill a French restaurant with balloon animals. :-D -- .~. Robert P.
