    @Erin - I'm pondering doing a compilation .pdf, but still have more to write on the subject before I do. Most of the random charts are in the 2009 Compendium, though (link down on the right).

    @ Al: we would have happily welcomed your company in the panel. Once Doug and Mike have a few days rest, I'm sure they'll be posting the videos from the con, including all of each of the seminars.

    Doug's investigating streaming video for next year's seminars, too.

    Allan.
