Fun at lunch
1:15pm
A bunch of us ended up going to an Asian place down the street for lunch. Andrea was successful in teaching me how to use chopsticks. I don’t know if the lesson will stick but at least I’ve learned the basics.
I got some more answers about the Trio 600 and I’m that much closer to getting one. At this point it all comes down to figuring out what sort of deal I can get out of Best Buy tomorrow.

03.12 4pm
The afternoon session titled “Marion Goes to Washington” was interesting including information on a PAC from a database vendor that gives money to representatives that are supporting the bill to privatize database content. I could have gone without the semi-sterotying title but the session was worth attending.
