RE: Question about COMMON Sessions and Labs

<snip>
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.

Don,

How much would you be willing to increase the cost of COMMON to do that?
Remember there are a ton of security, legal, and direct costs associated
with your suggestion.   How about you volunteer to lead the committee to
discover what those issues are and present a recommendation to the CET to
provide for the function and how to pay for it all.

Don't suggest we drop the instructor led LABs in favor of the remote ones.
The costs won't be offset, and the membership would not approve.

Why is it always the "they" that have to do this stuff?  I though COMMON
was a user group, so the "they" is "us".
