I know you work full time and it must be hard to do other projects  
too...I appreciate your help with our exhibit table at the NAD  
conference...I feel so fortunate you were there to help and to  
explain SignWriting to people who walked by our table...smile...

Wow. This is great. A little like the Sign-Definitions you did for  
our SignBank project...

Yes. Technology keeps changing and driving us all crazy...but you are  
right that waiting five minutes, you will have different technology  
to work with!

Thanks for all your input, Adam and good luck with your projects!
