This spring 2005 issue almost coincides with this year’s Summit Technical conference in Las Vegas, our annual customer event where attendees spend five action-packed days networking and viewing application presentations and product demonstrations. For those unable to attend, we have synopses in this issue of several key presentations and plan to review additional Summit 2005 highlights in the next issue.

I hope you enjoy the articles and we always welcome your suggestions or questions, which you can send c/o TFC_Editor@ibi.com.
