(Word Limit, Geesh)

You bumped a 7 month old thread to complain about the word count?

no, he said word limit because justthat one smily was too small of a post and the server won't let him post it.

JP are the dvds available yet?

Okay then. Why the rolled eyes then?

no, he said word limit because justthat one smily was too small of a post and the server won't let him post it.

Maybe something flew into it

Tony, No on the DVD yet. Everything has been edited. I just need to get the artwork done and send my stuff in to the production company.

Where could one buy said DVD?
I'm from the UK so getting to the presentation in person proved too difficult

Just an idea - for future presentations you could stream the event live for a fee. Say $2 to view the event on-line on a 'pay-per-view' basis. That way you could instantly cash in on your global market. I'd have loved to see Chad Waterbury speak

Hehe $2...
