I think that there was a real timing problem with the Thursday night SCIDS
running from 8-10pm.
The MVS Program Closing and Ask the Experts Panel ran until 7pm.
If you took the bus to Downtown Disney for dinner you were lucky to arrive
by 8pm, so there was no way that you could get back to SCIDS before the
posted 10pm closing.
Years past they would serve ice cream at 9pm, have the Sing-A-Long at 10pm,
and close down at 11pm, which I think was a better schedule.

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...
