We would have to hold it in Orlando but we might be able to get the SIGGRAPH 98 committee to arrange for meeting space. How about alternative 3): 3) Consider moing the SC24 meeting back to its proper timeframe (early June) and hold it somewhere in Europe that can actually host it at that time. -- Dick Puk -------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard F.
