[Year 12 IT Apps] DLTV conference - DigiCon

[Mark]

It costs $70 to present for one day and
THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY dollars to present for two days?

Golly. That's *real* incentive to spend many hours preparing a presentation
or two.

Memo to DLTV: I offered to present if a cancellation occurred and you
needed someone to fill in. I withdraw that offer.
