Just got back from vacation today.  Refreshed, tanned, ready for work. 

I will tape every speaker at the conference who will allow me.  I'd also
be glad to take money for it, but will not require it :) because we were
planning on being there anyway.  As to duplication and distribution, I'm
mixed the same way Charlene is.  This would be a great start to an AGA
"Speaker Library".  I can even produce CD-ROMs with all the talks that can
be viewed on a personal computer.  But I don't want anyone to count on
this.

How about we tell people "no guarantees" until after the conference, and
THEN we announce it a few months later?
