R: egarding the blog, perhaps a short session for some of the less savvy internet users would be helpful. I've never done blogging before. Heck, it took me a whole day to figure out how to connect to the wireless in the conference room (I thought it was the same wireless setting as the hotel rooms had). For a green horn at the conference, I found it useful to put faces to numerous R-list users. Some of the presentations were enlightening regarding capabilities of R:Base and creativity of developers. The informal discussions and the R:Clinic were also very helpful. Thanks to the presenters and their willingness to share their ideas with the group. I think the sharing of ideas by R:Base users (and desire of RBTI to help users) is key to the success people have with R:Base. Bill Niehaus

I've gone through all the pictures, downloaded the ones I want to keep. You did a great job, Emmitt! I think the pictures added alot to the experience, and I hope we are able to do that again! Karen, The blog definitely took on a life of its own! It also connected us to several people who didn't attend. Emmitt, as always, did a great job with photos, but there were (at least) 3 other photographers who contributed plenty of pix: Paul Dewey, John Engwar, and Ken Shapiro were official photographers, too, and Emmitt, Mike Ramsour, Paul Dewey and I all contributed articles. Let me know whom I forgot to mention! I was sorry that so few people added comments to blog articles. But then, it's hard to teach new technology to old people. :) One step at a time. By next year, more people will be comfortable with the interactivity of blogging.
