could we have a section of the lounge just for demonstrations? <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/25/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Jeff Lawton</b> <<a href="mailto:jeff@idealso.com">jeff@idealso.com</a>> wrote:

<br>have the foundation very stable and could do so much more with the<br>facility. It was very slow at 5 am on Sunday we could offer that world<br>domination class then. I would prefer giving my backup presentation<br>where people could actually type in commands and follow along.
