will a transcript be made available for those who are unable to attend?

(I should be able to make it, just wondering)

:) nmw

I'm curious if anyone else has problems using WebEx on a Mac. I've never had a successful WebEx session on Mac (or Linux) and this appears to be no different.

I can't be the only one. Can I?

(After event) Hey, that was fun John. I would have liked to see other attendees names and the incoming questions to get more interaction and more of a conference feel, but overall I think this approach has a lot of potential. I went to a lot of "real" conferences last year, but this year I'm trying to hear the same people and attend similar events ... in the virtual space. I'd like to see more of these.

I must say I'm pretty disappointed with the Webex experiment. It's very "Web Backwards".

As with John, above, I tried to replay the event on my Linux machine, and while I saw the slides there was no audio.

Why do I need a special client? Why can't it "just work" like YouTube and Google videos with flash, which is widely deployed on Mac, Windows and Linux machines? Why do I need to install a proprietary client that may or may not work?

To add insult to injury, after a half-functional replay then "Justin" from Webex starts spamming me by phone and by email.

I didn't ask for information from Webex, and I didn't ask to be contacted. Why send unsolicited emails and phone messages? Spam is very uncool and "Web Backwards".
