I wouldn't pay $650 to hear someone read a press release in any case. I

>>2. FrameMaker has no future that can be substantively

Note that I have no vested interest in promoting this conference... but as a
prospective attendee, I *do* have an interest in encouraging my fellow
Framers to be there to talk to.
