We have all this super technology these days, just sitting on our desks: webinars, skype, etc. Also available, maybe, to those who for one reason or another are unable to travel to wherever, how about the presentations also be on-line, with viewers able to ask questions. Of course they miss the dinners and bar hopping, but it's sure better than nothing. Perhaps some could even do their presentations from, eg, home. Question: is the quality of the video and audio good enough? (This "Pandora.com" music-site is hi-fi, as far as my old ears can tell.) ---- I recall ages ago a presentation at Indiana University c.s. dept done via some nifty program in x-emacs. The presenter could write down formulas, loops, calls, etc, just as on a blackboard, but then could execute stuff right there in the same window, interspersed among the "blackboard" stuff. I think the guy (prof) was from some college whose name started in "G"? David
