Matt,
Yeah, we had a booth there and it was fun for me to meet Haje and a lot
of other long-timers. We even had a guy stop by who knew Dave Stern
back in the day... IDL 0.9! There were some 1.0 guys too. One
disappointment though... our swag wasn't quite as good as others. SGI
had little monkeys you could launch into the air. Yes, flying monkeys!
Bill suggested IDL BB guns for next year. I'm for IDL lawn darts. ;-)
Seriously though, one-on-one sessions or some kind of mini user group
meeting would be nice.
Doug

The *last* thing you would want to do is mix IDL 7.0
and alcohol. :-(
Cheers,
