Re: is there no IBM Technical Conf this year?

I know this doesn't apply to you, Paul, for two reasons.  But just an 
FYI (plus for some, minus for some):

   * All Gaylord hotels are now non-smoking, even in the bars and atria
     (don't know about outdoors), and
   * Tennessee is pretty much non-smoking in most public buildings
     (there are exceptions, you know legislators).
