Pity. If it were something benficial to Computer Horizons, they could pick up the tab. Regretfully, I can find nothing (other then knowledge I'm gaining.) to convince them as such. I haven't put in for my USENIX expenses (I may pick them up personally). If I don't put in for USENIX, there is a slim, slim chance I could come out to the ORA conference. I know that doesn't help you much. :> - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
