Now I understand what it means to be a "groupie." I listened to Dr. Vinton Cerf (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Jr4&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=vint+cerf&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=) speak yesterday in person. Spent about two hours with him. I shook his hand, got his badge, and got him to autograph it for me. I was so giddy that I was shaking a bit after wards. As a an Internet professional, this is bigger than an architect meeting Frank Lloyd Wright. For those that don't know, Dr. Cerf invented the ARPANet, the mother of the Internet, and has been improving and influencing the development of the Internet ever since. 40 years of work that is still ongoing.
