Hi all,

The opening keynote speaker at HP World 2000 is Al Franken.

Hmmm... http://www.speaking.com/speakers/alfranken.html
indicates that the cost of getting Al Franken as a speaker is in
the $20 K to $25 K range.

That's 20 *THOUSAND* to 25 *THOUSAND* dollars.

Why in the hell is Interex spending our money this way?

Who's having a power-trip ("I/we must be important, we've got
a big name speaker)?

Does Interex *really* think that hundreds of extra *paying* attendees
will show up because of him?

I'm not renewing my membership.
