I agree, and (sort of) apologize for my long flame.  I've met extremely
arrogant people in every sort of trade show I've attended, even the
consumer oriented PC Faires (What?  You don't own a PC-AT with at least
20Mb hard disc and a 80287?  You must not be serious if you don't own
GOD's gift to computing.)

Anyway, someone sent me mail to the effect that SIGGRAPH '85 cost 
$4,000,000 to produce.

Is this number accurate?  Anyone out there know how much it cost, or why?
Maybe we should think about the cost also, as I for one may have to pay my own
way next year.
