Hi Dick,

Thanks for the comments...I appreciate you taking the time to 
respond.  Your description of the second is exactly what drew me to the 
scene, so I'm glad to hear it works.

I'm sorry to say, however, that I took the first shot at around 
8am...perhaps being at that big a conference makes everyone feel rundown a 
little early...or maybe they hadn't had their coffee yet!  :)

Best,
Aaron
