I was just going through the paperwork to register to the Dec. SIGAda/ Ada Expo meeting, and I noticed that (for the first time, if I'm not mistaken) ther is a registration charge for SIGAda. A HEFTY $200 fee. What it didn't indicate is if this included admission to the Expo. I would think so, but it didn't say. Not only that, but an advertisement for the Expo in Defense Science and Electronics asked for $250 for attendance, with a $150 discount for SIGAda attendees. What gives? Does anybody know what the actual charges are? And, why the $200 fee all of a sudden? Is this necessary according to some ACM rule for SIGs, or are the meetings becoming too expensive for local corporate sponsorship? - Arny (see you in Boston) Engelson
