Lisa,

I'm afraid that I have to be one of those unreliable people today.  We have a high profile product launch in CA next week and I have to leave shortly to deal with a manufacturing issue.  I will not be back until Monday after next, but can provide a paper and set the unit up then, or we can delay until the next monthly meeting.

Sorry, unfortunately my job is like this some times.
