Am I the only person who found it rather odd that that big (expensive?)
color poster that just came to everyone in our engineering deparment said
nothing more than _when_ the conference is?  The most amusing part is that
it has a registration form, on which you can select the days you wish to
attend.  _HOWEVER_, _NOWHERE_ on that big poster did it indicate _ANYTHING_
about _WHAT_ the agenda was for each day!

Should I guess?  "Gee, last year I went on Monday and Wednesday, so maybe
this year I'll go Tuesday and Friday?"  We generally don't send a whole
bunch of people there for the whole week (since we're based in San Jose)
since not every day has something interesting to offer every engineer.

Hopefully there's a more meaningful brochure / registration form coming
soon...  The color poster was kind of silly.
