Twenty-two whole dollars? I admit, I would like to see one-day memberships priced appropriately. I'd also like to see a $60 dollar Macintosh (I've had this dream two nights now). I don't see anything wrong in raising money for the clubhouse. (As for the 1980 surplus, some of it was sent down to Baltimore, to keep Constellation from bankrupcy.) Video program: I can't believe it was busted deliberately. I can't believe it was busted so *badly*. . . . Programming: excellent. Hotel: The Marriot seemed to think they were too Ritzy for fans, or even mundanes. (BTW, that's a *pun*, folk.) I didn't have any trouble getting lunch on Friday, dressed in jeans, T-shirt, and denim jacket, and I hear they eased off as the weekend went on. My flame is about the security guy who, after the Sat 5AM fire alarm, told me I couldn't wait in the lobby (I was looking for my eleven-year-old, who turned out to be back in the room). I enlightened the security idiot in a quiet, polite tone without any even slightly offensive language. (And jumped up so fast, reliable witnesses thought I was going to punch him out.) Summary: the hotel should get their act together. Punday: Why can't it start at eight, instead of nine? *Long*. I was astounded that the guy who took third place got that far, though second and first place were earned. To last year's winner and this year's fourth place Richard Hill, better luck next time; you were right, a quick 5 is better than a slow 7. To non-entrant Richard Stallman: next year, ENTER! Finally: I believe Mark Ol$son (next year's chair) is on the net somewhere, if you have constructive criticism. -- -Paul S. R.
