Norm,

I thought somehow the firm was System 76, but I see they are out of Denver. So,
they must not be it. 

When are you going to talk at Lugod again? A talk on R perhaps? I did
not realize that you had given a talk when we used to be at Z-World on
"Debunking the Myth of a Desperate Software Labor Shortage" 

Any chance you can bless Lugod with another talk sometime?
