best signal (a/v as well as content)
i've ever seen multicast
(well yeah it helps to have the source
and receivers both on vBNS-attached sites
(vBNS has been, in i-remember-when-the-whole-Internet-
used-to-be-this-way-<purr> fraternity with cisco, 
monumentally dedicated to making multicast work
for its community.  truly awesome payoff.)

ACM even let us store vint's cool history of the net tutorial thing
   http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm99/tutorials.html#Technical_history
wow

if you get something out of them 
here's whom to thank/pay karma back 

(a) ACM/SIGCOMM (is any organization contributing more to Internet research,
			http://www.acm.org for how to join) 

(b) NSF/CAIDA's IEC/evi/sean.mcreary & UCSB's kevin almeroth 
		to admin broadcast and archive everything
		(hug next time you see them.  and also pay your taxes..)

(c) Harvard for astounding campus networking and a/v support 

(d) vBNS (also NSF-pay-yr-taxes) and cisco for showing us how cool 
		multicast will eventually be for everyone

was much work for many folks
and even tho the hilarious outrageous opinions 
session isn't included
(since it was set outside on grassy harvard knoll)
it was well worth all the effort

sigcomm next year in stockholm 
hope we can pull it off again
