I know this is getting tedious, but email is bouncing right and left ...  :-(

Re: FAUG scheduling (if you want to show something, they're flexible)
contact Mitch Lopes (pronounced to rhyme with "ropes" and NOT "Lopez")
at 408/996-0528.

The meeting is held in the rear conference room of the Palo Alto Hyatt, at
4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, CA.  Detailed instructions were in a prior
posting.

Palo Alto is approx. 35 miles "south" of San Francisco, and train and bus
service is available up and down the SF Peninsula.  A rough map, NOT TO SCALE
and most definitely not to proportion:

Pertinent Exits from the freeways are Page Mill or El Monte from I-280, and
Embarcadero or San Antonio from US-101.   Driving El Camino all the way down
is feasible (the busses do it) but is NOT advised unless you have lotsa time.
The Peninsula train tracks are between El Camino and US-101; Palo Alto station
is near University and El Camino (there "may" be another, but not clear where).
