potential clients of what is possible and how it was done. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Number<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Michael Pannwitz and I, along with a marvelous crew
of Open Spacers entertained some 2108 delegates to a congress in Wuerzberg,
Germany. We in fact had the whole system in the room, and it was glorious.
2108 is our number, and there doesn't seem to be an official one, so I'll take
it. Anyhow, there were a whole bunch of people. According to Michael, who
counts such things, some 236 issues were posted, of which 150 ended up with
reports. And of course, the whole agenda was created in about 35 min. Michael
held the microphone, and ran the folks through like cattle. Respectfully, of
course. At times there were more than a hundred people waiting to announce
their issue, and the cue curled double on itself. I know Michael was in there
somewhere, but you sure couldn't prove it by sight. <BR><BR>The majority of
the people present spoke German, so Michael and I did a duet. The program said
that Michael would translate for me -- but I quickly disabused folks of that
notion. I told them that Michael would do his thing, and i would do mine --
and with luck we would end up at the same place. Major fun!<BR><BR>Break Out
areas were designated by numbered balloons, and the signs, butterflys and
bumble bees flew through the air with their own magic balloons. Michael's
idea, which was superb.<BR><BR>Lots of learning -- including the fact that OS
for 2000 works just like always. Not a problem. And of course Michael and I
would be pleased to answer any questions that pop up in your fertile
imaginations.<BR><BR>Harrison <BR><X-SIGSEP>
