As for this Share's attendance compared to prior years. In the same
session that the chair was talking to me, one of the tables told me that
in the late 90's they peaked at about 3000.
Well, it really wasn't a table, it was the chair again. :)

I hate to argue with furniture (and hate even more when it argues back)
but I'm pretty sure there was a SHARE in eithr L.A. or San Francisco that
was around 5000. I remember it being commented on at the General Session.
Considering the decline in the number of mainframe shops, the decline in
SHARE attendance is understandable. And lamentable.

This may be a issue of my grammar, or lack there of. I will try to
restate what I was told, just to clear it up a bit.
Of the Share's held during the late 90's the peak attendance was about
3,000. I did not mean to imply that the peak attendance of all Share's
ever held was 3,000.
