Ken - I think everyone was a bit worn out by the end - I went on for an hour and a half - so there were really only a few questions.
One person wanted to know about the "area of application" for J and I told him "analytics" but now think this was too narrow - I should have mentioned how I use it every day for many different tasks where I might be using perl or shell-scripting otherwise. Someone else wanted to know about string handling even though I'd tried to emphasize the point that character and numeric arrays are treated the same way (as appropriate to the verb being applied). I missed my chance to hold up the book Ken had brought, too. I should have thought of that as you were headed out.
