Gee, maybe we should rent out a conference room with tables and set up a wireless network w/ high speed internet access and only charge $20 for the 4 days.

Maybe Macromedia will think of this... :) They could show off their Pocket PC Flash stuff. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Fusfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 4:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: DevCon 2002 info I'm not sure about the Swan and Dolphin, but I believe there is a business center at the Contemporary Hotel and there *may* be rooms there with network connections but I'm not really certain. You might also want to check Coronado Springs as I believe they also have business conferencing facilities, so it may be available there. -Matt -----Original Message----- From: Mark W.

Last year I had to sign up for a earth link account and it still was a long distance number, just to do some work. Mark W.

Also, for the record, DevCon 2001 was a first class event. Macromedia shelled out a very nice conference (including a theme park rented out specifically for conference attendees), live music, etc, let alone a top notch conference. I think the price is quite reasonable considering what attendees receive. --Paul Paul W.

Macromedia is a for-profit entity, in theory. They have to be able to support the cost of the conference, at a bare minimum. I'm sure they'd like it to actually be profitable.
