Enterprise99 - Friday

[Deskin, Bob]

Robert, it was a pleasure to finally meet you. That's part of what these
conferences are all about. Not to be contradictory, but I didn't notice any
teasing and nagging questions. I guess you'll just have to try harder next
time :-)

Seriously, I thought the conference went very well. There was lots of
interest in both Axiant and PowerHouse Web from ADT and BI customers alike.

And for what it's worth, at the Q&A, Ron Z raised the support time limit
from 200 years to 500 years.

Hope to see you all there next time - although we don't know when or where
that will be.
