Hi all,
We've used several webcast vendors. We never had a transmission problem--we were able to hook up anywhere there was a PC. They are very effective for seminars & sales presentations. It is expensive and someday I expect it will be offered free as an ad-on service, but this hasn't happened yet. One thing you do not have to worry about is parking. However, there are no lattes!

Hi Liz. Do you know if these systems allow non-microsoft systems
to work? I.e. Mac, Linux, etc? Several of us are not windows users. Do you know which specific webcast companies were used?
