#Well...
# 
#I won't debate that DECUS is a good thing to be at (it is), however
#it has gotten expensive to go to a DECUS Symposium.  A fair number of
#people are "shielded" from that expense because they are spending
#their employer's money, and not their own.
..
#I stated at an open Board meeting about a year ago that I felt
#that DECUS was making a mistake in raising prices.  I felt the
#economy didn't support a price increase, and that "simple supply
#and demand" would cause attendance to fall.
# 
#I also pointed out that the DECUS cities (Atlanta, New Orleans,
#Anaheim, Las Vegas, San Francisco) traditionally were expensive,
#and suggested that cheaper alternatives be sought.  

Hear Hear!  Let's form a campaign to move DECUS symposiums to
cheaper cities.  Call it, say... DECUS Tucson '95!!!

(Not to detract from John's comments, which are right on target,
but then the DECUS board is more interested in their perks than
convention attendance, to witness past years.)
