[ADXA] ADXA 1st Quarter Meeting

[Dennis Schaefer]

I missed the picture the first time.  Quite a setup!  I have a VF-1 but
haven’t powered it up yet.  I will need to find my NRR number.  I don’t
know if it is a required exchange, though.  Also, I think spotting is OK,
and maybe they have a special NRR spotting page.  I’ll go read the docs and
maybe you’ll hear me on there.
