   Any time's OK with me, with the possible exception of Super Bowl
   Sunday. :)   As far as "bookend"ing, SIGSoftVend has classicly
   met prior to IPROF, and and again I have no problem flying
   in Saturday (or Friday for that matter).  Birkett?
 
   Seems there is (at least some) outcry about scheduling around
   holidays/vacations.  While I don't personally have any problems
   with these dates, it would have been nice to have a little more
   time to mull it over with our employers/families; likewise, some
   on this list/newsgroup receive this in digest, making their vote
   (by Tue 17th) nearly impossible.
 
   Bill L. wrote in no uncertain terms that he didn't like it, but
   I'm not sure what was of concern - the dates/timing or the fact
   that the conference wasn't going to be on-site in Cupertino.
 
   If the latter was the case, it seemed clear to me that the turn-out
   last year would have maxed-out HP's facilities.  Besides, the CSY
   turn-out at the IPROF '96 conference was excellent.  I would, however,
   think it would be nice to shop around a little - the Red Lion was
   fair, but I think this group deserves better.
 
   fwiw,
   cv
