Chris,
Thanks for making the November 2013 GatorJUG and OrlandoJUG meetings a success. Everyone liked your presentation and we learned a lot. I noticed more questions after your talk than in the majority of other presentations we've had. People were tuned in and listening. Spring *is* a big deal and you dissected it well. All the best, Michael
