>>>>>   Well, Gary's speech is worth waiting a few minutes for.  It may be
"""""   longer due to the major thunderstorm arriveing just now.  I'm 
getting off before the power fails and going to watch Bite the bad 
postponed from last night. More about my day and the roast later.

     Later - The storm came close enough to give us a spectacular 
lightning show, but no rain, and no power problems.  I shut down without 
sending the previous after two unsucessful attempts to call.  Scott 
Johnson, last years runner up, won the Bite the Bag contest, which I missed 
seeing because I was watching the natural fireworks.  I guess that means I 
HAVE to buy the tape. 

     After breakfast, I went to the Apple Presents session and watched 
QuickTime movies, then went to Dr. Stephen Buggie's Disk ][ and Apple 
diagnostics session.  He briefly described all the many dignostic programs 
for disk testing, adjustment and repair that have been introduced over the 
years.

     After lunch, I went to the Desktop Publishing and the IIGS session, 
presented by Juiced GS publisher Max Jones.  He brought a sample of his day 
job work, as well talking about layout and design in desktop publishing. 

     The next session was Tony Diaz with The Portable GS.  He showed and 
amazing array of disk drives that have been designed for Apples over the 
years.  Many were prototypes that never made it to market.  At the same 
time, Doug Pendleton and Dave Ciotti were next door, working on monitor 
repair.  I wandered back and forth, getting some of both. 

     Then it was Banquet time, followed by a roast of Joe Kohn.  Buy the 
video. ;)  After that, it was time for the Bite the Bag and watching the 
Olympic opening cerimonies.  And the aformentioned storm watching.
