Some shows dont let members of the general public, or people under 16 who arent working for a computer company or others in, as well. What burns me is that after the show is over, my phone keeps ringing off the hook as every headhunter in the world is phoning me. It would be tolerable if only the UNIX headhunters were phoning me, but I get the "What do you know about -- COBOL,VMS,ADA,VM,IBM 360 Architecture,Ethernet..." For about 3 days, its non-stop -- "No, I dont know anything about X. No, I dont know anybody else who knows anything about X." I have already learned not to go near the car raffles and tv raffles which are all head hunter ruses to get more names, so somebody is selling the entrance forms to head hunters.
