 BM>   what it's all about. Got to get a hold of a schedule and
 BM>   check it out. If I do go, I'll let ya know.

   Well, I decided to give myself an early xmas present :)
   I'm going to the conference. My Instr. got me a copy of
   the brochure. Fri. is preconference workshops, at
   additional $$$, so I won't make them, but registration is
   Fri. Nite @ 1700-2100 hrs., reception 1800-2100 hrs.

   Sat. & Sun. workshops go from 0800-1700 hrs. Awards
   Banquet is Sat. 1930 hrs. till ??? (2200 I think) It was
   $21.00 extra so I regretfully had to decline that part.
   I'd have liked to have been there to support the efforts
   of those receiving the awards, but my sister will be
   coming with me, and $42. extra is a bit steep for me, on
   top of all the other expenses, hotel, etc...

   the exhibit areas are open Fri. 1800-2100 hrs.
                              Sat. 0800-1800 hrs.
                              Sun. 0800-1530 hrs.

   But I'd still call first and check the schedule. Are you
   still planning to just come for the exhibits? If you were
   interested in the rest, you better call and register asap.

 DC> I have never been to this particular conference either. I
 DC> don't know quite what they are gonna have to offer. I'm
 DC> should probably call and find out before we go all the way
 DC> to Albany.

   How far from Albany are you? I'm a little over 90 mi.w.
   Too far to commute for three days, and still have a good
   time, so I'll be staying at the Marriott. If you make it
   out, let me know, and maybe ;-) I'll bring a copy of those
   old Emergency Tapes. I did review one, it had five or six
   episodes on it. I had planned to just quickly view, fast
   forwarding thru most of it, just to see which episodes
   where there, but ended up watching ALL of them. My husband
   was beginning to worry about me, as the night before I was
   looking through theee' old scrap books, of the "Good old
   Days" :( miss them!

   Anyhow... the episodes are 1st. & 2nd. "The Steele
   Inferno" part I and II ( a rare find, because in re-runs
   they usually don't keep them together) 3rd. "Survival on
   Charter #220, only part I :(, 4th. no name, but the one
   where the TV crew goes on a ride along, one incident is a
   boy being bitten by a snake, 5th. no name, but it's where
   a worker get his arm caught up in a type of
   hopper\grinder, and Dr. Brackett comes out to do an emer.
   amputation but one of the FF suggests reversing the wiring
   to make the motor run in reverse. Also they have a type of
   audit and review for a drug not given but acknowledged,
   but it ends up being a radio problem (atropine was the
   drug),  and a women who overdosed, dies (another rare
   emergency episode) I think there may have been one more,
   not sure. Any thing sound familiar, or something that
   you'd want a copy of. The quality isn't great, but it's
   watchable.

   Haven't had time to watch the other two tapes,
   we have a division exam coming up this Monday, if you
   score less than 75%, you're dropped! I'd expect to do
   better than 75% of course, but I want to do at least in
   the 90s. So it's study, study, study!  Last test was only
   92. Not too shabby, but could/should be better.

   Well, talk to ya later Darrin, "Baby Huey"! Take care,
