At least it shouldn't be as humid as Nashville---for the benefit of those from milder climes such as Canada (:-) Personally, I felt right at home there. The great benefit of Nashville for me was that I got to go at all. I had to pay my own way this year, so driving over made it a reasonable excursion. Of course, I'd have done the same for any southeastern location. NB: if you want humid, wait'll you get to DC in the summer! I was mildly amused at the open board meeting by the juxtaposition of (1) complaints about the heat/humidity; and (2) the number of hands that went up in approval of DC as a site. I'll freely admit that there's more to do in DC and a wonderful transit system to get you there. I'm looking forward to it, since I'm already acclimated... -- Ken Sallenger / ken@bigbird.csd.scarolina.edu / +1 803 777-6551 Computer Services Division / 1244 Blossom ST / Columbia, SC 29208
