Date: 17 Sep 1994 07:55:30 -0400 Organization: Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Message-ID: <35elfi$48q@gnat.cs.nyu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: gnat.cs.nyu.edu Date: 1994-09-17T07:55:30-04:00 List-Id: The other Keith (Keith Thompson) points out to me that it is quite likely that what Greg was saying is that the company in question wouldn't pay *their* employees to listen to him (which I misinterpreted as an issue of paying Greg). If that's right, which I think it probably is, then I apologize to Greg, although I must say, with a new hat on acquired recently, the idea of charging for sales presentations doesn't seem such a bad idea :-) :-) :-) Just think, if I were still using DOS, and only could do one thing at a time, then I wouldn't be able to post to CLA while waiting for GNAT to finish compiling. Isn't OS/2 wonderful (of course there may be some readers of this group who think that this particular feature of OS/2 is NOT so wonderful :-)
