A great day!
Yesterday felt like the longest day ever, but it was a great one. I hope you all had a successful day and are prepared for another successful (albeit long) day.
I had a chance to meet with so many customers yesterday and began to get of sense of who you all are, and how you feel about Hyperion. While I've met with scores of customers, one-on-one, since I joined Hyperion, it's not the same as being with 4,000 of you, in one place, where we not only had business meetings, but socialized in the evening.
After last night I realized that Hyperion is more than a software company. It's much more like a family. Most of you have known Hyperion for many years. You know the people and the products and each other. And, you all have great Hyperion (and other) stories to tell - some of them pretty funny.
Thanks to all of you for being so welcoming to me, and for making me feel like part of the family. I look forward to more discussions (and stories) today and tonight.

P.S. Don't worry John (you know who you are), I promise not to tell Aunt Mabel about what you did to the dog in 1967.
