The card reader may be the simplest solution and I'll have it with me. The hotel may have a computer "station" in the lobby that we may be able to rent by the hour to just do the few uploads we have, rather than using the line in the hotel room and getting charged by the day. We'll have to play it by ear, I think.

I'll have my digital camera and card reader too...hopefully we can find a way to upload these in real time!

Xyon, it would be shiny if we can upload real time! Do you have a multi card reader to connect to your laptop? If not I do, since we don't know what kind of memory cards everyone will have.
Nope, not one that works. Thanks for offering to bring one. (of course my camera is set up to work with my computer and it should be a quick set up for any other camera as long as they have a cable connection for XP to reconize. :) )
Been talking about it with a friend that is going with and we have concluded that the hotels should have Internet connection but more than likely we will have to pay to use it. Something else to think about...

The Hyatt Regency does in fact have internet access. There is a computer room for guests located near the customer service desk in the lobby. The entrance to it is in the hallway going to the tube to the mall next door. I have used it before, but there is a charge by time block for use of the internet.

I'll try to be there Friday evening. However, Friday's are really intense for me in my job, so it's likely that it will be unfeasible. I will definately be there Saturday and intend to see the 1 p.m. session in the Centennial room. If Friday is a bust for me, I'd love to hook up Saturday with some of you and have a brew or two...maybe do lunch, who knows. Anyhow, let me know.

I have just made the impulse decision to attend and have obtained a room in the Marriott. If anyone is still looking for a roommate, I accept any non-smoking female who will put up with my snoring. Write cardie at bellsouth.net.
I have a local dialup number in Atlanta for my ISP, so we can send stuff from my room for the cost of a local phone call.
I'll see everyone Friday at the browncoat table.

Unfortunately I will miss the meetup on Friday, as until 7:30pm Atlanta time I will still be at my desk working here in California. I look forward to meeting some of you browncoats on Saturday or Sunday though. If you see guy with lots of words tattooed on his arms, thats me, please say hi. I'm also trying to put together a costume,so hopefully I will stand out even more.

I just confirmed my hotel reservations....FFG can you shoot me a brief as far as the plans for everyone to meet up? I saw that were gonna try and meet around 830 after the first symposium...anyelse been decided...i.e. did we ever figure out if there is some sort of pin on to identify fffans? or fff.net regulars? I couldn't afford the hyat or marriot, but I am near centennial park [within stumbling distance of the main areas].

Hi Haslinger,
It's all pretty informal, meeting at the Firefly Fan table in the Marriott after the session in the Hyatt with our BDH's. This should be around 8:30. Maybe we just chat, maybe we swarm the city in search of some food, who knows. As far as identifying each other, it was let to everyone's own imagination to come up with something, brown headband, brown felt cutout of a coat. Obviously if you have a Firefly t-shirt or are in a Firefly costume, you won't need the aforementioned identifying item.
