Has anyone else noticed that US DECUS seems to have gotten into a mode of always slipping deadlines? It seems like the last several symposia have been accompanied by registration being moved back, CFP getting extended, etc. Now this latest posting from Jeff is yet another example. Are they taking lessons from Commander Scott? "You didn't tell 'im how long it will REALLY take, did ya laddie?" -- Don Roberts Internet: dsroberts@beckman.com Beckman Instruments, Inc.

HOWEVER - I would strongly strongly strongly (enough stronglys?) recommend you
never start planning on it. I am involved in some of these schedules - the
ability to do this is not constant.

One other very important point - we never slide the early bird deadlines. So
if you want the lower cost registration fees make sure you pay attention to
those deadlines.
