The usual ... no hassels  here. The way attendance is growing,
there  is a  need to  keep  a head  count ...  there might  be
shortage of floor  space shortly, the days when  all could sit

there are major changes here ...

Put this off  for a later date as well.  More desktops need to
be ported to OpenSolaris, before the pluses and minuses can be
really appreciated.

Yes. This info would be useful ...

Things would surely spill over ...
