Btw, I don't have to worry about you guys doing a shameless plug 
for this list, when meeting this level of experts, right?....;-))
I already mentioned this list to a guy from Kodak Holland, will also 
try to get some names before visiting the PhotoKina in Germany next 
month. Rest assured that the subject of E6 compatibility is high on 
my list....:-))
Does anyone have names of Kodak IR-rep's present on the Kina?

Sorry, I thought it was *the* book in your shelf....;-))

I'll make some room on my shelf....

I don't know the procedures in this CS conferences, but I assume a 
question like: "Ms White, are you aware of the IR-Mailinglist?" is a 
quite appropriate one, right?....;-))

I don't have CS access (and neither the energy to get familiar with 
its system within one day), so I hope some of you will post the 
highlights of this conference on the list. Looking forward to it!
