Re: [Op-torch-general] TORCH at Fall AMIA Event

[Michael R. <os...@ea...>]

Hello John-Paul,

I am glad you are interesed in Torch!   How did you get lucky enough to 
get this opportunity.  I'm jealous.

We have some new stuff coming up on TORCH2, and hope that we will have 
some pretty rapid advances made in the near future.  I am currently 
using OpenEMR in my office, and have used FreeB to do our billing for a 
two physician office for 6 months now.  I would love to have the 
opportunity to talk to you about this, and to throw my 2c in on TORCH 
vs OpenEMR, and the open source market in general.   I think we will 
have something to show you in 6-8 weeks as far as TORCH goes.  For now, 
you would only have 1.3 to look at.

Is this the Fall Symposium, Oct 22-26?  If so, do you know what the 
itinerary looks like? When the panel is to take place?

If we could arrange some time to talk, I would love to arrange to meet 
with you, either net, phone, or f2f.

Michael
