This year, registration is completely online and payment is ``semi'' online (you still have to print and mail or fax a piece of paper). Hit the beach for a refreshing morning dip in the ocean. Attend a superb collection of presentations and interact with geometers from around the world. Enjoy shopping, dining, sightseeing, and night-life in beautiful South Beach and Coconut Grove, each with its distinctive style and flair. This is the first year for online registration. Please report problems to me ([log in to unmask]), and thanks in advance for your patience. See you at the beach!! Victor Milenkovic Local Arrangements Chair, SCG '99
