5).  Add your own comments.  Please keep to the topics addressed (feel
free to add as much space as you need).
I agree with your assessment that Tom tried to "steal your thunder" with his 
little presentation. I did not like the format of the soundoff this year. Tom 
stood and was the center of attraction. The panel was not seated up front 
facing the audience, rather they sat in the front row with their backs to us. 
Tom can be part of the panel, I just don't think he should dominate it like he 
did. As far as his little marketing preview went, I would have been more 
impressed if I thought it had a chance of being approved by IBM Corporate. Too 
bad that IBM couldn't have someone from corporate at the soundoff as well.
