	abstract = {Mark Twain once said, "Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid...than to open it and remove all doubt". I considered my strength as President to be more of stewardship than visionary. Alas, it is with some risk to fulfilling Mark Twain{\textquoteright}s prophecy that I continue with this address. I referred to some of the previous Presidential Addresses; to get a feel for what was expected. Certainly, if the Society was to undertake all the {\textquotedblleft}must-do{\textquoteright}s{\textquotedblright} and follow all the visions put forward, we would have made Microsoft Corporation seem like a cake-stall operation by now.},
