I was referring to "hotel room."
But where the presentation room is concerned, there are deals to be
had. If you get one from a big city hotel you will of course be reamed
to the full depth and diameter of your orifices. However, as an
example, I had a deal going with an SGI rep who would let me teach in a
large conference room in their sales office holding 12-20 students, at
desks, on BOXES PROVIDED BY SGI, SET UP BY SGI, for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
PER DAY. Now obviously this was because said rep wanted these students,
who were probably all or nearly all going to be from various large
customers in town, to sit in front of SGI machines and say hello to SGI
people coming and going, and hear from me how pleased I was to be able
to use SGI's fine office space. But nonetheless, it was a "deal" that
pleased everyone.
