Paul,
Face it, Gaylord's are VERY expensive places to stay. I wonder what the
nuisance ripoff fee for not staying at the over expen$ive COMMON hotel is
going to be for Nash...

Well, it IS my money. The first time COMMON went to the Gaylord in
Nashville, they tried to nick me for that fee when I checked out. I told
them that I had not been notified in advance, and that I would not pay it. I
offered to go back to the room and retrieve the water and newspapers and
return them.
I told the front desk manager to either remove the charges or he could
explain to the general manager why American Express was going to call him.
He removed the charges.
If you look at COMMON's registration page now, you will clearly see the
notification about the resort fee. I guess my point is that if they're going
to hit you with that insult, why not just bury it in the price of the room?

You going to be a commuter, or stay at the hotel? I can't seem to get my
arms around the concept of a $10 per day "resort fee" that includes
wireless
access that I wouldn't use (Sprint card), 2 bottles of bottled tap water
(Dasani) that I wouldn't drink and newspapers that I wouldn't have time to
read.
I sent a note to COMMON asking if I could get my money back if I returned
the water and newspapers to the front desk upon checking out. I haven't
been
given a response yet.

That would be really lame since it's just around the corner from where I
live. Guess I'm just having one of those Can't-Make-Myself-Understood
days. I thought the operable words were "outside of" and "warm." But
then (sigh) I knew what I meant.

I guess one of the things that will be interesting is the "size" of each
portion.
And by "size" I mean two things:
* The number of IBM presentations and other stuff (expo, etc.) for
each system, and
* The number of people attending/patronizing each system.
Not being able to personally attend too many seminars, etc., outside of
COMMON and the LUG, I'm holding out for the System i Developer thingie
this Fall - if they choose to have it some place warm (wink, wink,
nudge, nudge). But, then, they'll probably use that as an excuse/reason
to hold it in Fairbanks. .-)

IBM POWER Systems Technical Conference featuring i5/OS (formerly

Date/Location - TBD
My understanding is that there will be a single conference this year
- not two as in the past - and that it will be a combined Power
conference -i.e. System i and System p.
