[dba-Tech] Third conference?

Hi Arthur:

Having a conference in Toronto would be a great idea. 

A few years or more like many years ago (1984) I went as a rep for the
'Victoria Commodore64 Users Group' to the huge conference hosted by TPUG
(Toronto Pet Users Group). The conference filled a whole school with a
variety of seminars going on in various class rooms through out and the
Gymnasium was where the main addresses given by the Gurus of the day. It was
an awesome event and you could not have asked for better hosts. The local
group was so large at that time that they produced 2 different magazine...
one the 'Transactor' was excellent. (I had a subscription for years.)

In 1995, went there again with a friend who had created a Windows like OS
that used the 6800 chip set, hand coded in assembler, ran on all Atari's and
Mac Classics up, could network all of them, operated in less the 256K and
screamed. We went to the Toronto Atari User Group conference and though not
as huge as the first conference, it was a good size and we were made more
than welcome. I was the product presenter and together we sold almost a
hundred copies of my friends OS.

Toronto computer conferences bring back a lot of great memories. I am sure a
conference there has the potential to be unmatched.

Jim

(A confession which is probably off-topic: in 1968 I was convicted of
possessing some LSD. I was convicted. Five years later I was pardoned. I
haven't been remotely near anything like that since about 1970. However, a
pardon in Canada does not constitute erasure from the databases in USA, with
the result that I cannot attend any of these conferences, much as I would
love to.)

I wonder if there might be any interest in a conference held in Canada. I
live in Mississauga, Ontario. There are hotels nearby. I have space in which
to hold our various presentations. Mississauga, Ontario is .5 hours from
Toronto, the most multi-cultural city in the world (not my claim alone, this
is pretty much universally accepted). Where I live it is very quiet, but I
have parking to suit 100 (ask JC).

It would be fun to host a bunch of you here. I don't want to intrude upon
the prospective schedule, but perhaps a few of you would like to visit this
part of the world for a bit.
