>> What has me concerned is just how many laser printers and laptops
they're going to have hanging around for all of us to print our handouts
from in the "paperless" conference...since about 1/3 of all the handouts
still aren't on the webber...:)

It won't be a paperless conference.  All speakers are being given the
option of requesting printed handouts for their session -- if there are
code snippets or other things in the handout that make it critical for
reasonable understanding of the discussion or for good note taking, then
the session can still have printed handouts -- we are NOT encouraging
attendees to print them all themselves.

However, we are not wasting paper by arbitrarily printing handouts for
every session -- we are encouraging speakers who think the handouts are not
necessary to provide them for reference on the web or on the CD.

Some of the speakers have already told us they won't upload their handouts
to the web until after their session.

So please don't assume you should be printing handouts during the
conference -- it should be much easier to fly home without all that excess
paper!
