AG Demonstrations at SC00

[Borchers, Robert R]

Terrific set of ideas. I am copying Jim McGraw, SC2000 program chair and we
need to let SCinet know that they need to count on enabling multicast, if
they don't plan to do so anyway. Bob

Great idea.  We probably need at least one site on the floor, though, that 
has a few chairs for folks to watch these.  If we do this, we ought to 
publicize a mini-tutorial schedule.

If we did this right, we could have a "roving reporter" with a wireless 
network card and a wearble computer who could interview folks.  I've got a 
couple of NT wearables that we could use.
