My God, you actually figured out what the hell Cascade is? I didn't
understand a word he was saying and I ended up reading their handouts and
drinking a lot of orange juice during that lecture.

The food was damn good though.

Anyway, about half the seminar was about NT / Unix interoperability, which
is bad, very bad.

Nice things:
Solaris 7 appears to not be a very big change from 2.6, which means it is
stabilizing.
Quad Ethernet cards have trunking capabilities.
