I certainly encourage and trust the team in Vienna that changes will be
made if not avoidable :)

.. in the Sky cafe.
Well it was just a suggestion - once laptops are there why not give the
people the opportunity to use them . they might not take advantage of it,
as they will have the screen and the objects and mischa to look on :)

if somebody knows something about MOO clients .. go for it. if not I
would suggest we stick whith what we feel familiar with. I would prefer
to have the MOO workshop on telnet, becasue I never worked with MOO clients.

let me only say that I have made bad experiences with real audio
transmissions (Karin was with me when it happened) but I only want to
express some critic thougths and not my distrust in your work :)
