RE: Orlando meeting?

["Andrew M. Benhase" <abenhase at gte.net>]

The problem there is that unless you fly Delta, you will have just as many
hops. A full 75-80% of their traffic is Delta only traffic. But, techically
and organizationally speaking, Atlanta is a better choice, conference
facilities and all. But Florda is a great deal warmer in December.
