I tend to agree.  For yourself, if anyone asked, what sort of issues
would you identify as being indicators of a good cross-over point and
what sorts of things might make you hold back?
 
I'm asking from a professional and personal curiosity.  (I understand
that many attendees of the seminar weren't that familiar with the 
entire SQL world or the capabilities of SQL Link out of the box.  
Since I know the person who worked on the technical side of that 
presentation, I'm looking for thoughts to pass on for further consider-
ation.
 
From a personal view, I'm pleased with the direction BI's material is
taking.  If you saw last year's presentations along these same lines, 
I think you'll agree that this year's material shows some growth and
awareness.  I just want to keep that ball rolling.
