In regard to the comments about SF as the
place for HPWorld...

1. Having a destination city that is attractive
   for more than the conference always helps
   attendance. SF definitely fits that criteria.

2. Those of us 'local' to HP Cupertino regularly
   fight traffic getting to HP events/meetings. We do this
   more than once a year and have done it for many
   years. That's just a fact of living in a populated
   metropolitan area. Maybe the HP folks can 'give
   a little' and 'suck it up' for a little commute
   for an annual event. Besides, us 'locals' will
   have to deal with the same issue.

3. The down-side to a local conference for me is that
   I end up working extra hard. I still end up working
   on customer issues/projects and attend the conference.
   Hmmm. wonder if that has any influence on #2...
