And from an attendee -
"I was there, standing room only - I didn't count but it seemed to me to be about 50 people there. It was a great presentation. Many people were excited about getting ready to work satellites with their handheld ... "

Thank you, Ted! (grin)
Say - have you visited and signed the Guest Book at our upcoming mid-April ARISS contact here in Riverside, CA?
I am sending this to you privately - I mean, I wouldn't want SCORES of people visiting the site and giving us their best wishes for the project by signing the Guest Book - so just keep this 'tween you and I ...
