A couple of brief thoughts on SIGGRAPH:

1) THANK YOU^n to whomever decided to bind the pocket guides for the 
technical program people in spiral bindings!

2) Next time, include a booth number -> exhibitor name index.

3) The categories of exhibitors seemed ill fitted.  There were far too 
many exhibitors listed among the miscellaneous under seemingly arbitrary 
headings, many of which were synonimous.  A good example was the makers of 
scan converters.

4) Thanks for including the Maplethorpe 3-D pictures.  But why wasn't the 
cyan penis in the 3-D slide set?

5) I like the continuation of the tradition of holding the technical program
reception in science museums.  It brings out the ten-year-old that lies at the
heart of each of us.  Well, at the heart of me, anyway.  Besides, if the VR 
panel was any indication, a good dose of remedial instruction in physics might 
be a good idea.

6) Any suggestions on how to get the theme song to _The Geometric Fables_ out
of my skull?
