    I understand that BigFoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, whatever you call him, sleeps with a dropbear. Keeps it with him at night tucked underneath his Star Wars Wookie-design sheets, pillowcase and blanket.

    Hey I heard that. We are not allowed to travel at all unless someone else is paying for it.

    Don't I know it. The last one I went to was in 2007 and I seriously believe it was a bribe at the time. I had just started working for Lockheed.


    Though I work in Marietta, GA, I still can't go (like Sindy said) unless I pay for it, or someone else does. Bummer!

    Hi Mike,



    Upon reflection, I feel a response to your email is in order.Having worked in publishing since the 1970s and with structured markup publishing and Arbortext Editor since 1992 -- including Caterpillar's original "lights-out" database-driven publishing application -- I take exception to your use of the term "traditional publishing.""Traditional publishing" means WYSIWYG.Calling structured markup publishing "traditional" makes no sense. With or without a database, structured markup publishing isrevolutionarybecause it rejects the WYSIWYG paradigm.

    Also, PTC's de-prioritizing of Arbortext Editor will inevitably create a weak link in the chain, as the expression goes. And a chain is no stronger than its weakest link.Database-driven publishingrequireslights-out structured markup publishing in order to ensure the integrity of the output. As a critical component ofPTC's dynamic publishing solution, Arbortext Editor needs the same level of support from PTC as any other PTC brand.

    Please let me know any questions you may have.

    Best regards,
