Speakers are top-notch, and experts in their field, and yet the atmosphere is relaxed.::&I cant really say I had any negative impressions.::&I was only able to attend Day 3, so I can only comment on Guru Rao, but I was impressed by Raos insights into the technology he was discussing.  Some of the slides were a bit too detailed to be perfectly legible from where I was sitting, but since they were available on the TAS CD, I knew I could always review them later.  ::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&?0?xxx?xxx?xxx?xxx::&::&?xxx?xxx?2?xxx?xxx::The administrative help was good.  However, the scheduling of the TAS conflicted with GTEC, so I was unable to attend all the TAS sessions that I wanted to.  I would recommend that future TAS sessions NOT be scheduled during the same week as GTEC.   &::&::&&?xxx?xxx?xxx?3?xxx?xxx?xxx::UNIX, Windows and Netware software and hardware support in private enterprise and government.<<>>Not Scored by Definition
