Oh, I understand the business side of it all. I happen to leave near San Diego, so it was as easy as falling outta bed to get to OSCON. That's not saying I won't go to Portland, it's all going to depend on what's being served... Keep up the good work on this, it's the best CON around by far. I never felt like it was just a group of people getting away from the office for a week, like most CONs. Honestly, for the years it was in San Diego, it was the only place I went... Are there plans to do the University again?? Thanks Nat for the work you did down here!! .mark
