Robert:
I think your statement "in the interests of fairness" says it all about the
Microsoft Canada invitation. I would like to attend. How does one of us go
about answering your forwarded invitation?
I'm a newbie user of SuSe Linux, am very happy with what I have on my desktop
and have had much help from tlug members. I have never felt comfortable with
Microsoft operating systems, from the original Windows 1.0 onward, and have
also felt that a very dangerous situation is created when one corporate
developer dominates the world's desktops.
But this guy obviously has been around a long time, in the Linux world and
 now in the Microsoft kingdom, and he therefore should be worth listening to
 and questioning. Whether any of us will leave with our opinions altered is
 another matter. Personally, I very much doubt it.
Patrick
