The reason _I_ don't go to Tri-Ada is cost; otherwise I'd love to go. My
company does C++ and Perl. They won't pay to have me go to an Ada
conference. That leaves it up to me. I have to use my own vacation time,
pay for air fare, lodging, registration and any tutorials I want. And I
want to go to Comdex and OOPSLA and Internet World. Again, I pay for
this. I can usually afford one or two of those choices per year.
The only Tri-Ada I've been to was the one a few years ago in Anaheim. It
was within driving distance.
So, you can see that the artwork has no bearing on my decision.
