Including add-ons it goes from Sunday 2 Aug through 12:30 Friday 7 August, at the San Diego Convention Center (right on the water; nice place; Interex conf. was there in 1991). "Main conference" starts Tuesday morning 4 August. See www.interex.org for all the details. Don't miss Harry Sterling's talk: The HP 3000 and the *next* 25 years. :-) BTW, for anyone who hasn't made their plane reservations yet: United is the official carrier for HP World this year, and offering some pretty good rates (at least on the west coast)... BUT: I first called to check on flights a couple weeks ago; was quoted a round-trip airfare Seattle - San Diego of $166 and change. I didn't get around to locking in my ticket before I went to the mountains for 10 days; el dummo move on my part: I just called United again this morning and the same ticket is now up to $198 !!!...; 20 percent more... :-(( Ken Sletten
