NO DEADLINE.  That's right, NO deadline for registration! We will continue to accept deposits as long as there is room at the inn.  BUT... it's very difficult to plan without a reasonably accurate count of registrants; so please, PLEASE send your $50 (per adult... not necessary for kids staying with parents) to Monte Neece.  IF YOU ARE WAITING BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT, don't worry about cancelling later.  You will get a FULL refund of your deposit.  
 
To refresh your memory, ADAMCON 01 will be held in Orlando, Florida from October 7 to October 11.  
 
Door prizes will include a hard disk interface, a Type III tape formatter, a serial interface, a pair of airline tickets to next year's convention (or any city in the US or Canada serviced by American Airlines), hotel accommodations, Disney tickets, and an incredible amount of software, some of which will be released for the first time at ADAMCON. MMSG, Elliam Associates, Pittman Enterprises, The ADAM Connection, David White Software, Gerlach Family Software, The SoftWORKS Factory, Wizard's Lair, ADAM'S HOUSE, E&T, NIAD...  those are just a few of the retailers contributing software; more contributions come in every day.  We also have newsletter subscriptions, PD volumes, Compuserve packets, and even certificates for free hardware repairs! 
 
Showcased at the convention will be unheard of items such as Syd Carter's new extended datapacks, Chris Braymen's MIDI interface, and many other projects which are being kept under wraps but promise to knock our socks off.  We believe we will even have a working video expansion module which is not due to be distributed until November by a Canadian enterprise.  This item alone would be well worth the trip! Big John and AWAUG seem to have some tricks up their respective sleeves, too... it gets more & more exciting! 
 
Bargains galore: 30% off EVERYTHING IN THE MW RUTH CATALOG, and that's just for starters.  Other retailers are working on their own special offers, and it looks as though there are going to be some VERY attractive surprises. 
 
Meet the legendary Solomon Swift, Big John Lingrel, Ron Collins, Tony Morehan, Syd Carter, Alan Neeley, Tony Patterson, Eric Danz, Steve Pittman, Jim Marshall, Chris Braymen, Dave McIntosh, Bob Blair, Faye Deere, David Cobley, Ricki Gerlach, Paul Pappas, Philip Kosowsky, Ed Jenkins, and (we hope) dozens of other well-known ADAMites.  
 
If you can POSSIBLY make it, please DO!  And, if you belong to a group, investigate the possibility of sending just one member of the group to represent you and carry back the news.  If you are into photography or video recording, please volunteer to help us capture the event for posterity.
                      
Again, please help us to firm up our plans by making a commitment; as soon as he receives your deposit, Monte will mail you a very nice information pamphlet.  Monte has worked hard to get us the best accommodations at very reasonable rates, including some meals; the closing dinner is going to be a knockout.  (If you've never heard of Church Street Station, just wait!) Special deals are also available on car rentals, air fare via American, and extended visits. There are many attractions to tempt your family, including the Wet'n'Wild water park just across the street.  The weather should be perfect.  For some people, this will be a 3-day weekend anyway, as both Canada and the US have a holiday that week. 
 
There IS another group (NOT ADAMites) gathering at the Las Palmas Inn during the same time; Monte is concerned that if we don't reserve enough space to accommodate everyone who wants to come, there may be a conflict, especially with the convention rooms.  Do we need one room or two, or what?  We can't really tell until we get your reservations!
