Ron,

Count me in, I'll be there again this year (and I promise I won't miss
the seminar this time).

I like the idea of a Web Event.  Many folks can't make the trip
(though more should try<g>), so how can we "spread the gospel" of
Modelmaking/Metalworking?

The typical way is run it on the MBONE through somebody's reflector
somewhere and anybody with, say, CUSEEME software would be able to tune
in.  That's what NASA does.  Or you could make an audio recording
available on one of the web sites.

Format and software compatibility issues are the big problems.

How about a CuSeeMe Video link?  Someone could video tape portions of
the event and broadcast them via CuSeeMe.  This makes the event
essentially a "live" event.
