 If you don’t know that answer to a question.. admit it. Don’t be afraid to
say “I don’t know”.
 If people have political views of “why” this has been done do not
comment. “We are here to help you get started…”
 What if I have a technical problem?
 Should I wear a MS logoed shirt?
SIMPLE AGENDA
