this all sounds so good, Cindy!!  And I would support their discussion
on the upper end software. And I would support any lengthening of the
workshops if they feel its better to do so, and it works with the whole
schedule. Perhaps you have to see how it appeals to the group at large,
whether it would be more than just Brit, John and I taking the
workshops.  Coming from the approach of rendering landscape for multiple
uses might appeal to a broader group than just cartographers.

Thanks for your hard work thinking through this and I'll think about it
some more and get back to you.  Amelia
