Hi!

Just now, I'm writing from a London hotel room on a "1-bar" wireless
connection -- so forgive the brief msg. I'll send more details next
week.

Briefly:

COME TO IDC!! It promises to be a terrific meeting. Take a look
at the website for more information -- including the keynote
speakers, accepted papers, tutorials/workshops, etc.:

www.cs.colorado.edu/conferences/idc2005

And *yes*, student volunteers get free registration. (But we can't
help with travel and lodging, unfortunately -- we're trying to
keep the registration fees on the low side...)

all the best
Mike
