Borland Post-conference CD a bit buggy

The Borland Post-conference CD finally arrived by mail yesterday, and since it's a holiday today, I had time to browse it.

As I'm anxious to learn more about .NET, I went straight to the Proceedings page, and there clicked ".NET". To my disappointment, a blank page was displayed!

Indeed, the link:

file:///E:/borcon2003/bdn.borland.com/borcon2003/.net/0,1418,10104,00.html

...pointed to a non-existed file! Next, I tried to figure out other ways to get to the content, but each time I opened a .NET-related PowerPoint slide show, the only thing I got was script errors in my browser. Not good.

But, I finally figured a way to solve the problem, since everything on the CD is also available on-line, you just have to know where to look!

To fix all the errors, replace the URL part "file:///E:/borcon2003/" simply with "http://".

For instance, all the .NET proceedings are available here:
