There actually was a terminal room, hidden around the corner to the left as 
you walked away from registration.  I went there exactly twice, to pick up 
printouts for the PGP session (once would have been nice, but my laptop 
crashed and I was late for a meeting, so had to go back afterward).


I definitely agree that the all-day "cookie room" was a great idea, and I'd 
very much like to see this sort of thing again.  It could do with a few 
more tables and power than we had this time, and an all-day supply of water 
or beverages would be good, too.

Of course, the potential negative aspect is that folks who aren't attenting 
the session right before a cookie break can "camp out" and grab cookies 
right as they arrive.  But, that can happen anywhere...
