OK, that makes sense - I was at '93 and then at the (much smaller) tech
conf there in '04.  Obviously melding the two in my mind.

<<Wasn't COMMON mostly in the Marriott (not the convention center)?  >>

IIRC, the last time the Marriott and the Sheraton (across the street)
were 
used was 1993. Come see me in Orlando. I've got some good stories I can 
tell about tree limbs in the IBM delivery truck, porters bouncing
AS/400's 
off the truck onto the pavement, laborers jamming the freight elevator 
several times during setup, the PC pitching contest at 3 AM, etc. That
was 
an ugly conference in terms of the setup and teardown efforts, but the
two 
hotels were a good venue.

See Ken Graap's earlier post about the likelihood of COMMON being able
to 
use the convention center next spring.
