I just attended the 2010 NZ SAS Users Conference. Of course it's on a slightly smaller scale than the Global Forum, but like you I always find these events hugely useful, educational and enjoyable. In passing, I saw a demo there of EG 4.2 while I was there - congratulations, I think you all have done a tremendous job in improving it as a development environment. Now I just need to convince my boss that we need an upgrade...
