... and Carol reminds me of the story of the job
interview I had a while back. The interview took
place in the plush new Dean's conference room at a
lacquered boardroom table. It was summer and hot and
I was offered a glass of water in a plastic cup. As I
was getting up to start my A/V presentation on the
very high state of the art widescreen TV at the other
end of the room, I knocked the cup of water all over
the conference table! The video, however, worked
fine.
Cheers,
kip
