<FONT face=Arial>Just so people know, there's only room for 3 more people to join us on the Hackers In Japan trip, from 5-November through 22-November. Total cost is $3,773,70, including round-trip airfare, travel, and a bunch of really good food.<BR><BR>Our trip's server disappeared a couple weeks ago, but it's finally back up, with at least our itinerary on it (with more info to follow shortly).<BR><BR>If you or anyone you know is interested, or if you have any questions, please email me.<BR><BR>Mitch.<BR><BR><BR></FONT>----------------------------<BR>On 9/6/2010 12:53 AM, Mitch Altman wrote:
