Roger,

You had asked for possible topics for the conference.

My current concerns are primarily with developing a better look and feel (but no ribbons), to our dialogs. This year, we are going to re-work the UI for the second time since we originally did our windows software. The first re-work were tabbed pages within single dialogs, now we are looking at the multi-threaded tab pages to contain most of our file editing dialogs. In effect, the multi-threaded tab pages will be a semi-replacement menu system for the file dialogs.

From a marketing perspective, improving the look & feel is high on our list.

I'm interested in other developers approaches for better utilization of different screen resolutions with dialogs sizes and font changes. I'm not looking at scaling, which we've been doing for years now, but with different layouts and the most efficient ways of achieving this with the least amount of code changes.

these are just a couple of the ideas i wanted to get out there...

You WILL NOT take a cab!.

When you walk off the plane, call me.
It will take me 15 minutes to get to the airport.

That is the amount of time it usually takes to collect your luggage.

We are meeting in the Clearwater room at 8:00 am (in the hotel).
Breakfast is in the hotel.

I will just say hello, drop you off, and then go to bed so I am fresh in the morning.

Most of the others are arriving earlier and we will probably be out having dinner and drinks a half mile from the hotel.

My phone number is 208-867-6091.

If you let me know your flight number, you won't even have to call me.
I will arrange to get a text when your flight arrives.
