Reviews:
Glenn reviewed that getting his new job with Linden Labs/Second Life as worth
full price & that he really likes his new Mac desktop for it -- and then he
reviewed LosCon as time was spent with family, then he spent most of the con
sitting behind a table at LosCon & that the wireless at the Marriott 'sucketh
mightily' & that Westercon 64 had a party there and drew great crowds, plus he
[and others] had 'issues' with Programming & he got to take Dave McCarthy out
to dinner; Dierdre follow-on'd to comment about other programming mess-ups
Lynn reviewed SorcererCon as small and intimate and GOOD; Andy reviewed that
since the con was centered around the 'city rooms' that it seemed less small
than it was and the programming there was good & the BASFA parties were
excellent; Dave G commented that at least one dealer came away happy; Adrienne
reviewed it as small, well done and cute ['chibi-con' suggested [tall] Keven] -
she really liked it; [evil] Kevin said that it was fun and full of incidents &
Mo reviewed it as she enjoyed the themes and had a good time
Adrienne reviewed a website as a really good place for sound tracks =
www.intrada.com
Harold reviewed scam emails as 'do not respond to them' & reviewed 'Monty
Python, almost the truth' as funny & informative & reviewed ancestry.com as
'mark him dubious' about its accuracy [and worth free during its 2 week promo
right now]
Ed reviewed an sf book about an accountant as his [delightful] wife liked it
and he thought it was entertaining: 'The Audit Report' by Richard Neumann
[tall] Kevin relayed a review by Lisa of OryCon as 'avast ye Kumo!' and rated
it as '3 grrrrs and no fish'; meanwhile, he had fun sleeping
Fred reviewed the King Tut exhibit as well-organized, well put together &
really worth seeing
Stellan reviewed LosCon as very nice, worth full price
Ken reviewed Houston Intercontinental airport as not worth full price for a 90
minute delay and several gate changes
