        Well, if Tanner's going to reprise his talk again this fall, I 
suppose a bunch of us INW types could attend.  Maybe we could instigate a 
move with the NC*SA to have pizza and cokes or something, too.  (Pie & 
punch?)  And Matusiak can provide foot massage to all comers.  Sign me up 
for an early slot, Dave!

        I think I'll try to implement GPG this weekend.  I'll let y'all 
know how my experience goes.
