Several people have emailed me asking me to write up a summary of the
meeting. There is usually a fair amount of alcohol consumed at these
meetings, so I won't promise anything ;-)
However, I will try to take notes and post a summary on my weblog
(http://home.comcast.net/~bc19191/blog/index.html) after the event
(probably my March 16/17 weblog entry).

Hi Bill,
Would you mind posting some summary of your discussion with Franz? In
particular I am very interested in knowing more about Franz's plans for
.NET.
Thanks in advance,
