The lack of a screening room this year was a decision of the SIGGRAPH '87
committee.  In past years the screening room has often been available, but
not at every conference.  Part of what the conference committees try to
accomplish is a balanced conference with new activities each year.

In order to have the resources (people, money, time, and space) to try out
new ideas, some of the old ones have to be dropped (or at least temporarily
dropped).

Comments regarding activities that people think are valuable at the SIGGRAPH
conferences are always welcome.  E-mail or a letter is the preferred way to
make these communications (casual suggestions at the conference often get
lost somewhere between the conference site and the planning meetings).
