Subject: Gathering at the Summit - First Live Report.

  The stage is set.  The sound system, the TV cameras, the pair
of giant screens tested, and the Internet connection is working.
People are beginning to arrive.

  Your humble live reporter is Frank Burns.  We're at the big
ballroom at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Washington, DC.  Over
600 people are expected -- so you can imagine the amount of
schmoozing that is already underway around the entrance to
this large room.

  For the Net, we'll be posting "near-live" reports from the
second row.  I'm going to do my best to deliver a fairly
steady stream of reports during today's event,... and my plan
is to report the scene (as best I can)... in addition to 
my own subjective summaries and highlights from the presenters.

  The scene:  stage with the usual podium beside a row of
nice chairs.  To the left of the stage is a giant screen where
the live and taped video will be shown.  To the right of the
stage is another giant screen -- with a live connection to
the Internet.  At the moment, the opening screen of Mosaic
is large enough that everyone even to the rear most row
will be able to read.
