[Bill McGonigle]

Very cool - Jeff presented GWT to DLSLUG in September '06, now he's  
written the book on the topic.

See folks, presenting at DLSLUG leads to fame and fortune!

> 2) I already have a present for mother's day, what do I do?
> Well, first off, there's certainly no rule that says you can't buy
