There didn't seem to be any "mid-size" rooms - they either held 48 chairs or more than I wanted to count. The "What we've done for you lately with PDSE" session was so crammed, extra chairs were brought in, and people were still lining the back wall.
The "farewell" reception (aka SCIDS for the old timers) was really poorly attended - that's something of a mystery to me. But I enjoyed the discussion I heard between two 20-something programmers about the relative merits of coding in assembler versus coding in Java. I would have joined in, but I code in neither...

Crowds at the CICS sessions I attended were definitely smaller than I've seen in the past, and the only z/OS 1.13 sessions I attended that were close to running out of seats were the ones held in "tiny" rooms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
