Thanks for the info - in fact, thanks to EVERYONE for all their info! YoW! I think I'll end up getting my Birkenstocks when I'm at Usenix, since I'll have a day or two to bounce around and browse and generally make a nuisance of myself. If you hear someone squeaking around in new sandals, it'll probably be me.... Actually, mugging the Virgin Atlantic flight attendant sounds more fun, but it's going the wrong way.... I didn't understand the last line though - are the Birkenstocks or are the flight attendants really worth the effort? :-) ^David -- David P.
