> I don’t speak to user groups or developer groups very often, partially because of a bad experience I had a number of years ago… I decided to talk about something that people could not read about in my book… Well, people went berserk. I suppose they had been expecting me to tell them everything they needed to know about Windows programming in the space of a few hours, and that’s certainly not what I was interested in doing. > That was a very traumatic experience for me, and since that time, I have been reticent about speaking before groups like this… This is bizarre! It's hard for me to imagine an audience reacting this way to a talk. Maybe it's because I haven't been to any user group or developer group meetings. What does "went berserk" in a way that was traumatic for him mean? Did people start heckling him in the middle of his talk? Even harder to imagine!
