Hi Cathy, Dave, Jenn and anybody else who may be interested,
Getting in to the FLIP was a bit difficult, mostly because I tried to
log on with a different computer than the one with the emails.
Eventually I gave up and hit the help button. A nice young lady called
Coco fixed it all up for me, although she might think I'm Marie. Once
in, everything seemed to work OK.
Jennifer is correct about the mouse. It only works sometimes. Arrow keys
remind me of pac-man.
I didn't get a discount. This may be because I registered too late.
The show itself was pretty good. I even listened to a bunch of
Conservatives including Lisa Rait. Mostly they congratulated their party
for its progress on climate.
