class=765505315-11122007>I am really concerned about trying to have this meeting
tonight here at our office. I don't think it is worth everyone risking
themselves to try and come to a meeting that is not a regularly scheduled
meeting. Since we cannot tell what will happen this afternoon I think it
is just better all around to postpone the trial run meeting at Vital Support
Systems to another day. Let me know what everyone
thinks.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR>

tonight and whether our office will even be open tomorrow. If it is and
I am able to get to work then I see no reason why we cannot have our meeting
in the evening. However, if the office is closed or I am not able
to get to work then I think since it is a trial run meeting we should call it
off. I will send an email out as soon as I know something tomorrow and
let people know. I will send it to the email list and post it on the
Forum. That should cover everyone.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Rather than fielding calls from a dozen or three geeks, I'd expect them to

we'd give Vital Systems' management a special login for <A

something to think about.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
