Re: [Palindrome] Hunt HQ...
Mike, I agree with your assessment of which rooms are best for us.
Also, assuming I can work the same network magic I've been able to work
in the past (also assuming my friends in Network haven't been laid off
by then ...), we may be able to take advantage of wireless.
I would also suggest that if registering early will get us the best
choice of rooms, we should register as Team Palindrome now (Kappa Sig
will certainly know who we are) and change our name to something
palindromic later.

I feel that I have only a rudimentary smattering
of information, and most of it's wasted on words
like "rudimentary" and "smattering."
