I'd be happy to take those bets. If you haven't been to recent meetings, take a look at the mailing lists for them. You will see a lot of complaints that the block was too small so it sold out instantly. You can invariably get cheaper rooms somewhere else and price sensitive people (like me) often do. If you stay at the conference hotel you can go back and forth between the meeting and your room without having to deal with the weather outside and you get the conference network in your room. Evidently a lot of our attendees like that. R's, John
