Re: Conference Call Minutes - 8/29/00

[Ed Julson <ed.julson@eng.sun.com>]

I have to meet with a customer at 11:00 today and will not be able to make the 
weekly conference call. Simon is on vacation this week and I don't know if he's 
planning to call in from home or not.

Norbert, would you mind calling me sometime later today to give me a quick 
update on what was discussed on the call?I should be back in the office by 1:00 
PST.
