We just need to get that video uploaded... Or into the hands of one of Jim's less scrupulous colleagues.

I'll volunteer!

I appreciate the offer but you know we had those darn technical difficulties. If I ever consent (not sure if I will :wink:)to having one on this site, I would rather it be more complete.
Its a shame too, because I think this presentation went very well. The audiance had lots of good questions.
I actually have a copy of one I did two and a half years ago in Cleveland, but the updated version is much better and many of the species names have been changed.
By the way, Kevin, thanks for all the kind remarks about the presentation. I appreciate it.
Oh, and thanks for not heckling me. :wink:

Jim:

As far as I'm concerned, even with the minor technical glitch, the presentation was very good. I heard alot of comments in the back and especially with the audience of sort of singleminded fish guys in that group it was very successful.

If anything I'll bet it probably upped the hits on the web site as well.

People really liked the pictures...Emma, Graeme, Martin et al should also be very proud...I heard comments like spectacular, beautiful and how in the hell did you get those pictures?....lol (and those are quotes).

I can't remember seeing anything like the species index on other web sites, nor can I remember something like being able to identify species by shape.

One of the most interesting things about loaches is the fact that every time you turn around there's a new species being discovered.

Thanks again for the remarks, Kevin.
By the way, when I got home and put the flash drive of the presentation in my computer and guess what....no gliches. Go figure. :?
