Hello Chris,<br>
<br>
I would love to attend and make a live presentation of<br>
Office Towers/X3Daemon, but it looks like I could use a<br>
surrogate or perhaps some simple assistance for a virtual<br>
presentation instead if that is permitted.<br>
<br>
I believe the later would actually work well to demonstrate<br>
the theme "How do virtual worlds affect hearts and minds",<br>
and the platform is definitely robust to the point of being<br>
capable of successfully carry such a presentation and maybe<br>
even help make history.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Lauren<br>
<br>
PS. A copy of this was sent to the lists in case someone<br>
would like to volunteer for assistance with the above.<br>
<br>
