Nolan, the problem with you is you don't think BIG enough. What we need is 
microfiche on each nametag with the member's resume printed on it. Reading 
it of course would be the problem. Do you politely ask to borrow the name 
tag to read it on one of the strategically placed microfiche readers placed 
thoughout the conference center, or perhaps we could hand out magnifying 
glasses with the registration materials.  An even better solution would be 
to create an on-line resume database. I have recently seen a pair of glasses 
with a miniture computer screen display. The great thing about these 
glasses, is that when your not using them as a computer screen, you can use 
them as a television.

Let me know if you want more info on the glasses!
