| 
| FP Room Meeting with Ken and Laura Brody,
| 
| This Tuesday evening at 9pm, we will host Ken and Laura Brody in The FP Room
| for a special tech-based session. Both Ken and Laura are finding more time
| for "other-than-kids" stuff these days and dropping by the room more often.
| It's great to have them.
| 
| It was suggested that we pick a special time that people could meet with
| them. We have chose 9pm Tuesday (the 11th of January) as the first meeting
| date. We will spend an hour talking about anything
| filePro-technical-programming from beginner to advanced and even expert and
| above. There isn't much you would be able to stump this pair over, not to
| mention the other brain trusts that frequent the FP Room for most of any
| day.  John Esak, Jim Asman, Tony Ryder, Fairlight, Nancy Palmquist, J.P.
| Radley, Richard Kreiss and many others.
| 
| Come and ask your questions this Tuesday. Ken and Laura will be happy to
| contribute anything they can toward furthering our understanding of filePro
| and how it all works.  There is only one proviso. There will be no
| "bitching", "moaning", "complaining", "grousing", etc., etc., as regards
| filePro and FP Technologies. That is not the purpose of this meeting and not
| part of their kind offer to make themselves available. No questions other
| than technical/programming questions will be handled. Nothing other will be
| appropriate for this valuable time.  If it all goes well, Ken and Laura will
| probably do this every week for a while. So, again, constructive criticism
| and discussion, no problem, beyond that into anything else... well, we hope
| it will be as the Room has always been... pleasant, fun, exciting and just
| plain great.
| 
| So, mark your calendars, get logged in, try out the room beforehand so you
| can see how neat it all is. Just click on:
| 
|    www.tinyurl.com/yuag7
| 
| any time to get into the room. A small client will be downloaded to your
| machine and you will then be able to talk, see and hear all that goes on. Be
| sure to have a microphone connected to your system or you will be relegated
| to just typing your thoughts while everyone else spouts off verbally.
| 
| There will usually be folks on hand in the Room to help you set up things
| correctly, although there is usually nothing to do but login. Please use
| your name or a combination of your name and initials. This is a professional
| forum and not a place for "handles". (special dispensation for Fairlite
| because no one would know what to call him otherwise...)
| 
| If you happen to be using XP with Service Pack 2 installed, you will have to
| go into the Securities section of the IE browser, set custom level and
| enable the four or five checkboxes dealing with Active-X. (Signed
| Certificates, Unsigned Certificates, Run scripts, etc., all need to be
| enabled to download the iVocalize client which is what we all use to access
| the room.  There are several new servers and clients available for non-MS
| browsers, but none are installed yet, so sorry, once again, this will only
| be for Internet Explorer users.  Maybe soon, we will install the next stuff,
| but only when it is really out of beta.
| 
| See you Tuesday... however, once again, do all of us a favor and sign on
| much earlier than the scheduled meeting date so you can acclimate yourself
| and your system to the room. We won't want to be doing much of helping
| people make their microphones work during the valuable time with Ken and
| Laura.  This is absolutely NO problem all other times between now and then.
| So, find a mic, login and we'll see you in the room.  If you are having any
| trouble with the XP SP2 stuff and can't get into the Room because the client
| won't download, you may call me at (570) 384-2444 most anytime (how about
| 8am to 1pm EST) and I'll be happy to help you get it done.
| 
| Take care,
| 
| John Esak

I think this is great, and plan to be there.

Thanks, John, Laura and Ken.
