This list is current as of today, just did a check. If your name is not on this list, don't you think it ought to be? Send me an email and we can make sure to get you registered for the event.

 

Here's what the convention fee of $95.00 is going toward

 

- 3.06 Paypal fee

- 40.00 to 45.00 dinner (buffet style gourmet deep dish pizza, cash bar, tax, and gratuity)

- 46.94 to 51.94 convention rental (500-900 dollars a day X 2 days, if we get more than 40 rooms its 500 a day)

-------------------

 

0.00 money left per person. Either the hotel, or PayPal is getting the money to ensure this convention goes off without a hitch. There is a chance of a surplus, and if that does happen the surplus will be used for purchasing prizes to be raffled off at the end of dinner on Saturday night (on top of the prizes we are already raffling off!).

 

I know a lot of you have been asking for information like this, so I hope it helps. I look forward to meeting all of you in March!

You have no idea how tempting that is to find some way to joke about But I'm holding back! Still replying though!

This probably is a stupid question but for the fly in part we probably need to bring our laptops right?

Exactly. We'll supply the wireless network if you guys will be kind enough to supply your laptops and headsets

And for those of you with older laptops, I'll be providing some Wireless cards. It would be adviseable for you to contact me if you are going to need one. I know that most of the newer laptops have wireless built in, but even the one I'm bringing doesn't.

 

I have two G PCMCIA cards and a B PCMCIA card.

 

First come, first served.

 

I'll be printing up a flyer for the convention on how to set those connections up.

 

Mark Z, you'll be getting a package sometime mid to late next week.
