I don't know Dallas at all, but my guess is that it is not easy to get around in the outskirts, so the money you might save by staying out there would be eaten by the car you'd need to rent. Also, it is possible that any cheap downtown hotels may not be the sort of place that you would want to stay at. I agree that the organizers for Usenix should have made an effort to find inexpensive accomodations, but perhaps they did and didn't find anything they could recommend. -- David Brown (415) 945-2199 Varian Instruments 2700 Mitchell Dr. Walnut Creek, Ca. 94598 {zehntel,amd,fortune,resonex}!varian!david
