I don't blame you, after the run of luck you've had! I'm leery every time I do a presentation. I don't mind speaking in front of people but it seems something always goes wrong - no matter how prepared I am. I've done presentations for conferences where the coordinator guaranteed the equipment was what I asked for and when I show up they have projectors that don't handle 1024x768 which is the only res. at which my laptop's video looks good (640 cuts the text lines up). I had another conference where I was setup 30 minutes early, everything worked fine, unplug my laptop and the first presenter plugs his in, he goes on and finishes, I plug my laptop into the projector and POOF my laptop's screen goes out. It took about 20 minutes to get it all rearranged so that my partner could run the presentation from the projected image rather than the laptop, while I talked about it. (we were showing a new app. live of course.) Luckily there was a third presenter that went on in our time slot and 500 people weren't just sitting there getting irritated. Took a month to get the screen replaced too :o( John BTW AccessD as we know it was formed in 2001 so I guess I have it narrowed down enough now :o) -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of DWUTKA at marlow.com Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 11:47 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Drew - Age of the Archives? I actually gave a presentation on the 'indexing' capabilities I built for the archives last month. After my track record with major changes/updates to the archives, I was just a little leary to give that presentation....go figure!

Drew, Yes, it is an interesting timeline, I thought of a few of those things too! :o) Thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com]On Behalf Of DWUTKA at marlow.com Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 10:47 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: RE: [AccessD] Drew - Age of the Archives? Hmmmm, let's work backwards. I know that the archives stopping archiving this past August/September (2003), because that's when I separated from Tammy. I know the archives started using the 'Memo Field Indexing' in April of 2003, because that is when my apartment caught fire. I know I moved the archives from Marlow to my home in early January of 2003, because my DSL company went bankrupt and pulled the plug on their network then. I have no clue when I actually 'started' the archives, other then a wild guess at about 6 months before I moved it home. So I would say July or August of 2002.

Drew, Someone recently asked me how long I have been on this list. The only point of reference I could think of was about two years before I sent all my archives to Drew! So, Do you know when you put the archives together on your site?
