Re: COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando

I'm just taken aback by the "rip you off" attitude of that hotel.

On that point, we completely agree.  The value received for the money paid
was very low.  $33.50 for a bowl of pasta and a beer. ( the beer was $5
not real bad for a specialty tap beer)   Neither Larry nor I could believe
the bill when we saw it.  My internet access never did work in spite of
calls to the front desk.  No real loss because I had my laptop with me at
the conference and the wireless worked great!, and I drank all the orange
juice and water provided.

Despite the cost of the hotel, COMMON was excellent this time, one of the
best we have had.

 Now on to San Antonio, where the facility will be better, multiple hotels
in easy walking distance from the conference and the Riverwalk, and where
we finally get to use see how Linux will blow Redmond out of the
datacenter.  Remember, Penguins eat butterflys...............(OK its fish,
but the image to great to pass up)
