(1) Only people who paid for the entire package (air and hotel) through Almaden Travel should expect any refunds. The remainder of you have already received a refund in the form of a reduced hotel rate if your reservation was made through Almaden. (2) Checks for those owed refunds should be going out within the next week or so. These will be handled by Almaden, but please give them a chance to get things wrapped up. If anyone has a problem, you can reach me through my Net mailbox, or by Ma Bell at (415) 941-3912. Please give us a little time to get caught up before you get frustrated and call. I am also interested in comments from all of you regarding the organization of the conference, technical content, etc. For those who have not heard, the official decision is to hold the next conference in Italy. Specific date and location are still being worked out. Gerry -------
