You supply your body, food and a PC, if > you choose. > > Why Columbus? Several reasons. Airfare was lower than any of the other cities > we considered (even New York). It is reasonably placed among the East Coast > Developers. The prices are drastically lower than the other cities that we > considered. > > Registration is $30.
