Hi all ... Re: VCF 8 lodging ... Sellam didn't book an official hotel this year. But I just checked with the Residence Inn Palo Alto (last year's official hotel) and they want about 160 per night. Also checked with the Hampton Inn and it's 130 per night. Best yet, the Quality Inn ( http://www.qualityinnmountainview.com ) is just 100 per night during the week, and 64 on weekends! (Granted, I'm staying for five days, and using a AAA discount.) They have hot breakfast, Ethernet in every room, wireless in the business lounge, a free fitness center, and even free laundry facilities. LOL, sounds better than my apartment! I'll be in town by Wed. night if anyone wants to get together pre-VCF. ----------------------------------------- Evan Koblentz's personal homepage: http://www.snarc.net Computer Collector Newsletter: http://news.computercollector.com Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists & Museum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/midatlanticretro/
