Intelesting. Perhaps for the next nanog meeting a delay of say, 30 minutes could be introducted between the end of a presentation and the beer-n-gear session coupled with the beer-n-gear being shut to prevent trinket rush-hour? On another nanog side-note, congrats to the people running the external realmedia feed this meeting. I was watching it from out here in Amsterdam and the stream was flawless. Besides the obvious camera refocus, etc. :-) adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Romance novel?" <adrian () creative net au> "Girl Porn." - http://www.sinfest.net/d/20010202.html
