Wow, you just made _me_ feel old!  You've only been to one more
Interex North American conference than I have.  I started with the
one in Montreal - great pancakes as I recall, and (being a cyclist
of sorts) the dinner in the velodrome was neat.  I can't claim to
have been directly responsible for any of them though.  I can claim
to having been an Interex volunteer since San Francisco '89.

Amen!  I also enjoyed the HP3000-L supper at IPROF '96.  I would
enjoy a lunch at Anaheim.  Unfortunately, Wednesday is already
"booked" for me, as is Tuesday.  How about Thursday?
