if anyone has had any experience using the MAC to administrate a "large"
conference (2000+ people), a friend would appreciate hearing about your
experience.  Everything from preregistration to printing name-tags should
be handled with the MAC, including accounting needs for such an event.

Your recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated.

The configuration right now is *ONE* 512k MAC with external drive,
Imagewriter and a Tecmar 10Meg hard disk.  Expansion to larger than 512k
memory and using more/other (Apple's?) hard disks, Laserwriter, or several
APPLENETworked MACs is possible.  My thoughts were to investigate/recommend
the Microsoft-line of products (WORD,FILE,MULTIPLAN,EXCEL) and/or OMNIS-3
with a large (43Meg) hard disk, networked using OMNINET.

please mail, I'll summarize and post (no need for anyone to send requests)
