No, there's no exclusive listing, in fact the hotel will sell out long before the conference starts so exclusivity isn't really needed. Hey all, this is a *USER* group. Ya want a list? Make a list! Surely people reading this newsgroup know more about where to stay in San Jose than the handful of folks at SugCo Enterprises. There's a lot more to recommending a hotel than just listing its address and room price. Better to hear from someone who's stayed there. As with any user group if you sit around waiting for some mythical central apparatus to do something it almost never happens. Things happen because people make them happen. Let's see some suggestions for places to stay near the conference right here. The conference is being held in the Fairmont in Downtown San Jose. "Your" move. P.S. I'm not particularly familiar with San Jose proper, I've only stayed at the Fairmont (and it's very nice tho I could do without the televisions in the bathroom to be honest...) -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | {xylogics,uunet}!world!bzs | bzs@world.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
