Cool idea, but I do not think the Virtual Labs concept fits well with the total conference considerations.
Then again,  I have  yet to hear the V labs  explained in full.

one of these days, they're going to setup a server that's a lab server,
give each attendee a unique id/pw, IP addr, a CD of required software with

for us to goto for help...  This should save alot of space, give alot more
session/lab flexibility and give attendees access to more than the usual
schedule would allow...

Great idea, Don, and I already do that for my lab. (Preparing for the IBM Operations and System Administration Competency Exam). In addition to loading courses on the lab server, I create a temporary profile on our own web server and allow COMMON attendees to take Manta courses for free during the week. That way, I can fill every seat in the lab and let the overflow crowd go back to their hotel rooms to receive the same experience. The problem is that the response has been so good that I'm causing bandwidth problems on the conference Internet connection.
