Someday I may learn to read all my messages before firing
off a reply to the first few in the current list.....   Anyway:

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of in my previous post.
I'm assuming that regardless of where IPROF ends up meeting
in '97, the San Jose Fry's will be reasonable close.

Sounds like a good variation and expansion of the theme to me...
Once a bus is rented, it could perhaps just make two loop trips:
First time around to deliver all the drooling computer shoppers
to the store(s) of their choice;  second loop at closing time to
pick everybody up.

.... In which case maybe it should be called "BOF SHOP" or
something.....   BOF FRY'S  or BOF SHOP  or whatever;  I
guess any of the above will serve the purpose....  We can
include a short explanation in the IPROF Program handout...

SIDEBAR note to all:  If you have any IPROF or SIGIMAGE
questions between now and 21 October, note that I will be
off in the woods in the North Cascades for one more trip
before the snow flies....  So after this one, you won't see
any replies from me until the 21st....
