Well, I'd love to see more then 40 folks show up, but we've not had that 
many at the NW meetings.  When school was in session, we had close to 
30, of late it's been more close to about 20 I believe.

I think the issue is he want's folks to be able to take notes on the 
handouts.

Last time I priced transparencies, they were a bit more.  40 could cost 
upwards of $40.

We should have the ability to display the handouts off David's laptop 
though, as we did with previous presentations.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
