Bill, just for you, I'll check the schedules for the convention centers in
the area and see what's cooking for that timeframe :)

I meant to speak up sooner when this thread began,
but...
Louisville, Kentucky, is an ideal site for any
convention. We are
located in the heart of United States, we have ample convention
facilities (but don't choose the weekend where we have the
Future Farmers, NHRA Nationals, etc). We have great entertainment
facilities (food, music, horse racing), a riverboat casino within
a 20-minute drive, a Deja Vu (and plenty of similar facilties),
scenic riverboat cruises (these without gambling), a bridge that
goes nowhere but stimulates endless debate.
KFC ?
Kentucky Festival of ol' Computers ?
:)) (I know it's a lamer, I just cundn't relist ... low willpower)
Is there no snow in January ?
If yes, please go ahead and start organizeing.
Gruss

Hmmm... if memory serves, that would have been 'Processor Technology',
and by association, the SOL Terminal Computer.

Sellam, I can't believe you, of all people, also came up with the wrong
answer. Everyone knows that the Northstar Horizon is not the name of the
company but the name of a computer put out by this company :).
Another piece of trivia: a friend of mine had Kentucky Fried Computers as
one of his accounts. He gave me a bunch of photos he took of the storefronts
for some of his accounts. I was *really* hoping to see one of KFC, but no
such luck.

Yeah... I'm properly embarrassed... It struck me about an hour or so
later... (d'oh!) Teach me to try to remember trivia when I'm trying to
recover from traveling to a weekend wedding...
Did not sound quite right... Guess I clicked into "Jeopardy" mode and just
locked on the 'wood' part... B^{
