Hi,
    That is a nice website. That is what I meant about making the meetings more
available. I think audio (tapes) would make a great addition to this presentation or
a text version of the lectures in one of the fields on the page. This way the
lecturer could make his point while the reader has the powerpoint slides to elucidate
them.
    Excelent job on the site though, that takes alot of work and those who cannot
attend lectures can still benefit. I applaud the effort put forth here!
