I second the motion to invite him if we have no other compelling speaker
for the next TLUG meeting.

I also second the motion to have him buy beer with the pizza. :)

However, if possible, I'd like to (additionally) hear M$ talk about
Palladium, on a more technical level.  I'm tempted to say we "boo" the
speaker whenever he diverts down the path of Marketing-speak.  But that's
very rude.  Anyone have a better and more polite way of letting them know
we're not interested in their sales pitch?
