The vendor in question was from coraid. His name was Brantley Coile, and 
we set things up back just before Xmas on the planning list, so I'd hate 
to cancel on him at this point. Maybe Dan (or me if he is busy) can 
follow up with him and see how much time he needs for his presentation. 
I'd like to squeeze her in at the end, as I suspect she'll generate a 
lot of post-meeting discussion.
