Hey now - no conspiracies on the list, I believe that was one of Bjorns rules of etiquette. Morel's called me saying they now have ADSL and I will be sending an engineer over there to see how to hook them up. So one way or another we will have connectivity, whether it be wireless or running on a LAN. I will try to drum up an old PC for the E-smith demo, if nothing else during our Q&A session we will have something to play with.
