Wow Melinda!
This series of running conferences looks really interesting. I hope I can
get some free time to make it up to Sydney and attend some of the talks.
I should have been more careful during the Science Fiction Convention last
year where I worked at putting on the live portion of the VR Festival. My
own webcam, and the VRA's copy of Adobe Premiere, and an expensive ($200)
poster I got printed up were stolen during the proceedings. 99% of people
are trustworthy, but it just takes one or two idiots...
Best wishes,
- Miriam
