Hi, You can just register for a Hobbyist though, and that's only $225. FWIW though, having been to 3 LCA's now, it's one of the best technical conferences I've been to and I *totally* recommend it. You also get a pretty decent swag bag [tshirts, CD's, etc..] and get to attend 6 days of quality talks and tutorials. Last year that included copious amounts of coffee and sugary treats at the morning and afternoon breaks too - you could almost eat your $225 in donuts [grin].
I may be driving down, but probably won't decide that until early January - will try and see if I can convince my company to fly me down instead :) Glynn On Fri, 2005-11-04 at 13:34 +1300, Steve Holdoway wrote: > ...
