Well, thought I would just pop in here for another visit as I again have a few minutes here in my airborne office. (off to Orlando this time) and what a treat to see this thread on networking going on. Such a great example of why this section is here! Ken, spoke with another instructor from Alberta, Randy Williams I think it was, that was having some .PWD, .PWL, DWL problems. He seemed to be having all sorts of troubles, some sorted out with the c2 update but many remaining. Think I helped with a few ideas, but also strongly recommended he get up here asap. I also took the liberty of giving him your name and number as my "resident" netware/network/AutoCAD expert. (let me know if this is ever a burden you would rather not live with!)[really] Glad to see all ofyou are doing well here, keep up the great work! PS What was your take on Adesk U Ken?

Wayne: No problem on the "name dropping". I just hope I can help this poor soul out. As I mentioned to you, I was having terrible troubles the PWD file corruption crashes, but as soon as I got c2, I haven't had a problem since. My "take" on AU was at least a great spread after the totally awsome Images awards ceremony, plus the CADANCE Editors Choice party. Oh yeah, I also went to couple of sessions <g>. I was pleased at the turnout, and the comments I heard were positive. A few rough edges, but that's to be expected for a first-time show like this. Next year should be even better. I did hear a few complaints (comments?) that some folks felt that either the session was too basic, or too advanced. Ted had a great idea that they should consider a symbol method if indicating the level if the session, using something like the ones they use on ski slopes: green circles for the beginners, squares for the intermediates, and black diamonds for the advanced (watch out for those double diamonds!!). The ATC booth was relatively busy, and the LRS books sold like crazy, thanks to special pricing offers, and lots of support at the ATC booth. Oh, yeah: I was also at Milt's Instructor Development session (learning from the master himself), and thought it was very informative. Great use of PowerPoint and the topics discussed were interesting. -KLF
