Funny, I tried the online demo of Ruby that advertised
a 15 minute tutorial. But I only got through 3 minutes
of it before I got tired of it - I got the feeling there
was not going to be any "meat".

Anyways, I'd be interested in a Ruby/Rails presentation
given by an expert. I've been hoping to drop in on one
of the TRUG meetings. Also, I'd be happy to show how you
how Seaside development works. Many people initially react
badly to Squeak, but with a Ruby background, the language
should not be the issue. Rather the image-based enviroment
is likely the impediment. (The garish default colours also
put off many people.)
