Yes, very. I've wanted to go to Hawaii since I was ten years old and  
read the book, _Diver's Down_

2)	WERE THE TOPICS COVERED OF INTEREST TO YOU?
Yes.

3)	LIST THE TALKS/SUBJECTS THAT WERE THE MOST VALUABLE TO YOU.
Things which I attended:
Jackowski's - ``Accents, Accents, Accents....''
Plaice's - ``A multidimensional approach to typesetting...''
Candy Yiu's - ``Chinese Character Synthesis using Metapost''

4)	LIST THE TALKS/SUBJECTS THAT WERE THE LEAST VALUABLE TO YOU.
Ranade - ``The Spread of TeX in India''


--------INTERNET CONNCECTIONS

Yes.


6)	WAS IT HELPFUL TO HAVE THE iBOOKS AVAILABLE AT THE  WORKSHOPS
	AND FOR EMAIL ACCESS?
Yes, very!


--------ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORTATION:

7)	DID YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH HOTEL ACCOMMODATION?
Apparently there's a phone in the hotel which has a button for the  
front desk which is wired to Room 1131---got two calls where the person  
was expecting the front desk, but rang my phone.


8)	WERE HOTEL CHARGES AS YOU EXPECTED?
The tax was kind of a surprise, but shouldn't've been.

They did try to charge porterage when I hauled my own bags though, but  
did take that off when I disputed it.


9)	DID YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSPORTATION?
First plane was late, which caused me to miss a connection, but a  
brilliant customer service rep in Chicago got me on a plane to LA in  
time to catch the flight to Hawaii


--------HOW COULD CONFERENCES BE BETTER ORGANIZED:

10)	COMMENTS?
It would be nice to plan in more special interest groups and workshops.




--------OTHER:

11)	REMARKS
Fabulous conference, and I'm very grateful for the chance to attend and  
present.
