True, I got my invite months ago.

I'd rather go to Santa Cruz, California anyway. SCO's conference compared
to the regional UniForum is more interesting. At this point, I'll get more
value from the SCO conference than UniForum. Most of the vendors at UniForum
will be in sabre-rattling mode and aren't in a position to offer anything that
I can't read from the trades. At least at SCO's conference there will be
people who are *really* concerned with furthering the UNIX cause and not so
much about their BMW payment and who they have to suck up to next.
