03:59.21 brlcad it also costs less than a third iirc
03:59.22 pra5ad-sj im not knocking the subject matter =)
03:59.46 pra5ad-sj j1? twice as much
03:59.53 brlcad only twice? :)
03:59.58 pra5ad-sj heh
04:00.14 pra5ad-sj i can compare siggraph in august
04:00.24 brlcad siggraph is usually massively well organized
04:00.35 pra5ad-sj we'll see how 1/3price affects it

04:05.28 brlcad you hear/remember the official stat on how many attended j1 last year?
