	Steve started with the premise that he knew a little bit about  
Twisted, but not enough to feel confident in using it in his apps. He  
would start by summarizing what he knew, and the folks in the crowd  
would correct him if he misunderstood something, or elaborate on some  
things that weren't very clear to him. Those of us in the audience who  
were in the same boat as Steve learned a lot, as I had similar gaps of  
understanding of Twisted. It certainly didn't hurt to have Glyph and  
other Twisted folks in the crowd!
