I can't speak for everyone, of course, but the general reaction
in my circles seems to be: "Atlanta?  Beatiful city, but boring as
hell...".   I'd like to see DECUS back in New Orleans next year.

I mean, we don't all go there just for the sessions.  I usually only
find half a dozen sessions that interest me.  I go to talk to people
and when I'm not doing that, it's nice to have something fun to do.

Anyways, sorry if this isn't the right place to bring this up.  I think
is would be a good idea for people to bring up the interesting things
they've found in Atlanta so that we'll know next time we're there.
How about comp.org.decus.blow-off...?
