Here's another one worth checking out. Another basic-style hotel
that's just a couple of blocks from the Bayshore. No idea if they
have rooms available, or what they're like. I just walk past these
places every day ;-)

The meeting fee is almost the single
largest monetary expense for me, and it keeps going up.
As an individual non-attendee, I couldn't agree more. Even though the

As far as I know, support for SVG or _any_ vector image format is much, much

Yes, but SVG is catching up rapidly. As a W3C standard, it *will* be

So editing bitmaps is

I'm in agreement with the first three, but I disagree with using PNG for
graphics. PNG is a device output format that
