Kim,

I have just submitted an abstract for a talk to you, and fired off a
registration check in the mail. Before I begin organizing my talk in
earnest, however, I'm hoping you can give me a few details:

How long are the talks intended to be? 15 minutes plus discussion? 10
minutes plus discussion?

Also, will there be a computer available for a Powerpoint slide show? If
so, what version and OS?
