  1. Excellent! I enjoyed the presentation and learned a lot of useful information.

  2. This was a very useful presentation – a lot of practical information, clearly demonstrated. I will be watching the others in the series.

  3. Learned a great deal from the first session. Would love to get my hands on Ira’s samples of demo’s he said he would distribute to participants.

  4. This was an excellent presentation and very encouraging. I plan on watching the next two sessions. Thank you.

  5. Hello Ira,

    The presentation is excellent teaching us the various issues step by step. However, I would love to learn that if we set Baseline 1 and 2 after setting the Baseline 0, will this still work. Also, for the recently added tasks, I think we should also tick mark the two options in selected tasks dialog box of baseline. Am I right or wrong ?
