      - all the phone numbers you give people are SkypeIn numbers. - you find yourself often having a conversation about how keyboards aren't as good as they used to be. - your 2 yr old daughter can log into a PC, use a mouse to play Purple Place on Windows 7, navigate youtube like a veteran, take photos with a compact digital camera and review them on the LCD, but can't speak English yet.

      Because you insist that she be fluent in Klingon, Elven, and Assembly before being exposed to such an irrelevant language.

        I don't think they're up yet (though slides from some sessions are[^]) In the meantime however there are summaries of all of the sessions here[^] to give you a flavour of what the conference is all about.

                Don't forget the user testing. Seeing everything is compatible and easy to use.
