RE: Question about COMMON Sessions and Labs

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 
30 license and let us hammer at labs from our rooms or over the 
inhouse/conf net.  And they'll setup helpdesk/coaches at set rooms/times 
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...
