> 
> --------ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
> 
> 1) WAS THE LOCATION FOR THE CONFERENCE INTERESTING?
>    Here is my vote for more conferences on tropical islands!
> 
> 2) WERE THE TOPICS COVERED OF INTEREST TO YOU?
>    Yes, some more than others.
> 
> 3) LIST THE TALKS/SUBJECTS THAT WERE THE MOST VALUABLE TO YOU.
>    Surprisingly, the POV-ray turned out to be one of the best.
>    The insight on the Mac OS X installer was very good and the
>    presentation was very high-tech. Being a one language American,
>    it was illuminating to gain an appreciation for those
>    "Funny Characters".
> 
> 4) LIST THE TALKS/SUBJECTS THAT WERE THE LEAST VALUABLE TO YOU.
>    Several of the talks were presented by people either ill-at-ease
>    or with less than a passionate interest in their topic.
> 
> 
> --------INTERNET CONNCECTIONS
> 
> 5) WERE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE INTERNET ACCESS PROVIDED?
>    I didn't really use it, but if I had had the need, I'm sure
>    that it was a Godsend.
> 
> 
> 6) WAS IT HELPFUL TO HAVE THE iBOOKS AVAILABLE AT THE  WORKSHOPS
> AND FOR EMAIL ACCESS?
>    Being a Mac user with my own PowerBook in tow, unfortunately
>    it was another perk that I didn't use.
> 
> 
> --------ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION:
> 
> 7) DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH HOTEL ACCOMMODATION?
>    Other than breaking a couple of toes on their furniture, it
>    was great.  BTW, I think I mentioned that their insurance will
>    cover any of my out-of-pocket expenses associated with the
>    accident.
> 
> 
> 8) WERE HOTEL CHARGES AS YOU EXPECTED?
>    Yes.
> 
> 
> 9) DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSPORTATION?
>    No.
> 
> 
> --------HOW COULD CONFERENCES BE BETTER ORGANIZED:
> 
> 10) COMMENTS?
>     I think you all did a great job!
> 
> 
> 
> 
> --------OTHER:
> 
> 11) REMARKS
>    I would have thought that with a TUG membership of a couple (?) thousand
>    that there might have been more vacationers/conferees like me as opposed to
>    a small group of long-time TeX users.  Since this was my first conference,
>    I have no idea of what successes and failures are in the past.  If there
>    are a lot of dues paying members, maybe some beginner/novice TeX/LaTeX
>    sessions might have generated more interest.
