Growing pains. We'll get the demo stuff down so that it becomes
second nature. One thing I would like to do is to have a special
unit singled out and used only for demonstrations. I had hoped
this would be one of the 730T tablets.

Not a big deal. If there are student units out, then the observers
can see the buttons on the bottom anyway.

I hope we find the cable adaptor, as it is currently the only one
we have.

I'll take this issue up with Jason and Wendy later, but the short
answer is that I identified 19 possible subjects, and only four of
those will be selected.

Ahem. FCE aren't "other" folks. Classroom 2000 is an FCE project.

What is the important grad meeting? IF you need to attend that, then
go ahead and come to C2000 afterwards. Or ask Stasko to videotape
it. If you just want free pizza, that's something else we can
take care of. I'm more than happy to have pizza brought in for
the meeting. :)
