SWW2006 home

As some of you already know, I am home and had a wonderful time. I met with
several SW employees, got to meet some of you, and learned a lot. As I did
last year, I will compile all of my 11 pages of notes into something
readable by the masses and let you know where to find it.

But, I just have to tell you... As most of you know, I firmly believe in
hotkeys and as such have become the keeper of the list. Well, during the
User Interface discussion meeting, I voiced my requests for a better
interface. Well, my perseverance paid off - I got to see some major changes
in the hotkey user interface in SW2007. If I told you what exactly I saw, I
would have to shoot you, so I won't. Just suffice it to say that I really
like the major improvements in the management of the hotkeys.

Thanks for your perseverance, Wayne!

On a personal note, I'm glad we finally got to meet face to face. I wish we
could have had some time to sit down and talk.

Agreed - time was the hottest commodity there - everyone had the same amount
and just had to figure out how to best use it. Thanks for showing up at the
SWUGN meeting.

Well I got to visit with Wayne again and meet Jerry for the first time.
I was surprised how few from the newsgroup were able to recognize Red
Craftsman Suspenders. I would have liked to meet a lot more. Strangely
the suspenders got me some good conversations with people who have no
connection to the newsgroup including someone who runs a school for
pipefitters who was wondering if 3D CAD had any application there. Who
knows, I might have sold a seat. Now Jerry, you didn't look all that
hen-pecked.

 

I told you the improvements were NICE Wayne! Nice to see you at SWW/

 

I didn't have nearly enough time to do all of the things I wanted to do. In
particular, I wanted to spend some more time talking to you about benchmarks
and I also wanted to buy you a beverage of your choice to pay you back a
small part of what I owe you over the years. Maybe in a year or two!
