That's what I really meant >to address. Hmm, intent on making me work for a living... Here's the ones I know about, I am sure the office can supply full details, apologies in advance for any errors: 1. Winter '92 - San Francisco Hilton, as downtown as you can get, I liked this hotel *a lot* the last time we had a conference there. Great location, fine hotel. With the whole Silicon Valley + SF + Berkeley crowd coming in (like last time) I'd say if you're going to only go to one USENIX in your life make it this one. 2. Summer '92 - San Antonio Marriott, on the river walk (maybe someone else can fill in details on where that is exactly.) 3. Winter '93 - San Diego Town & Country, in town, not quite downtown but a few minutes drive, certainly not "out in the suburbs" by any means. 4. Summer '93 - Cincinnatti Hyatt (no idea, maybe someone else knows.) 5. Winter '94 - San Francisco Hilton again! 6. Summer '94 - Boston Marriott (near the Hynes I assume, right downtown, 15-minute walk from the center of Boston and right on the transit system to get anywhere in Boston or Cambridge for, well, whatever they're charging in '94, around $1.) 7. Winter '95 - New Orleans Marriott, 5-minute walk from the French Quarter, Bourbon St and all that. *NOTICE - SITES MORE THAN A COUPLE OF YEARS OUT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE* It's not likely, but for all we know New Orleans might sink into the sea before '95, or the hotel go belly-up etc., or some other extenuating circumstance, in which case we'd obviously have to adjust and probably even change the city as suitable alternate meeting space may not be available for the dates we need in the same city. Actually, all sites are subject to change, of course, if something disasterous occurs. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | uunet!world!bzs Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
