Re: WAI Redesign call tomorrow?

Thanks, Eric.  In the past when neither you nor Shawn were on the call, the
rest of us could see each other, but the voice part didn't work, and I'm
not willing to waste time trying.  I'm pretty sure other people on the team
have similar systems, so hopefully we can use one of those.  Meanwhile, no
worries.  It will all work out.
