The FP Room: Meeting with Ken and Laura Brody

[John Esak]

If you have any questions or comments about something not working right in
filePro... why not post it here for Ken to consider over the weekend. This
way on Tuesday, he might be more prepared to answer such questions than if
you hit him with them on the fly.  Also, Laura and I wondered if we should
set a topic or just let it float around. We kind of opted for "float
around"... but if there are better thoughts out there, let's hear 'em.
Maybe, for a future meeting we could discuss a pariticular topic or area.

Remember, get into the room sometime between now and Tuesday to get
comfortable with how it works.
