FW: Ask a guru - was: Suppressing subtotal lines

[georgia miller]

I quit going to the Cognos User Conferences because of a lack of enough helpful information 
for Powerhouse users.  And since we have Macintosh pc's - most of the Cognos PC stuff
does not run on the Mac and as soon as you mention Macintosh the Cognos guys don't want
to talk to you - except for Bob Deskin.  I was not getting my money's worth from the 
conference. It was a lot of fun but I could no longer justify the expense to my employer.
