Let me try to respond to Spencer's problems:
(1) The two hotels are within comfortable walking distance
	for anyone not a native of Southern California; 
	probably a shorter distance than Spencer walks as he 
	strolls from the Zoology building at UofT to the
	Library of the Pontifical Institute for Mediaeval
	Studies (a few blocks);
(2) Every individual on the USENIX membership or 
	mailing lists will receive a UniForum program, 
	if they have not yet received one.  For those
	individuals who are not on those 
	lists, UniForum is the 9-11 February --
	Tuesday through Thursday.

	(It might be worth pointing out that USENIX
	mails things first class; not everyone does...)
