Of course, that could be a cunning ploy by the organizers to ensure you're paying attention instead of VPN'ing back into work! ;) Pete Pete Sharman Principal Product Manager Enterprise Manager Product Suite 33 Benson Crescent CALWELL ACT 2905 AUSTRALIA Phone: +61262924095 | | Fax: +61262925183 | | Mobile: +61414443449 "Controlling developers is like herding cats."

I think Mark is right on target. Great facility but really lacking in power outlets. Not too many people bothered by that but a few. If you need power or are worried about it ( aka me who wants to be vpn'd into work all day long ) you need to get to the sessions really early to get one of the few seats on the side with power available. The wifi bandwidth is top notch! # The facility is excellent. Rooms will be set up with seating with tables. You should have room for a laptop, but you might want to make sure you have a full charge, as you will probably not be near a power outlet. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
