surprised since someone had told me that they only gave away the software at
their "tier 1" events. You have to stay on top of them and I've been lax lately.
Sometimes these events are sold out as fast as concert tickets and you never get
the chance to attend. </FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

<DIV></DIV>Aww, man, I hadn't realized that. Back when Matti first mentioned the
MS Heroes series the only remotely local event was the Anaheim one in April
which I missed. I didn't even think to re-check as I figured MS would be very
rigid w/their scheduling. Thanks for the tip!<BR><BR>Great idea, Matti (thanks
again!). Back when I used to work for a software company like 10yrs ago doing QA
on enterprise level backup software, we used to get the MSDN subscription, too.
Talk about being buried in discs. ;)<BR><BR>--miguel<BR><BR>

Yes<BR><BR>Miguel,<BR><BR>You might do a search on upcoming MS events. I was
