Subject:Re: Best conference if you get only one? From:MAGGIE SECARA <SECARAM -at- MAINSAVER -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 18 Dec 1998 11:23:19 -0800
Can any conference promise that all the presentations will be
interesting and useful? Probably not. So much depends on so many
factors, and someone you like may put someone else to sleep or irritate
them to pieces. And vice versa
Having said that--I'd say for on-line help that any time you can listen
to or take a class from Char James-Tanney, do it! She's extremely
knowledgable and experienced, plus her presentation is interesting *and*
fun. She'll be at WinWriters in February, and here and there thruout the
year. Of course, she's only one speaker, but she IS a good one.
Just the usual tuppence ha'penny--
