    Strange question re temperature at the show

    Here in Pa we had snow yesterday morning and had to scrape the windshield today. Weather channel is saying high 70's to 80 all week outside in Orlando. That's t shirt and shorts weather for me. But what about in the hall? Do they keep it cooler? Going to be in there all day and wondering if a long sleeve shirt would be a good idea to have handy?

    Jim, I know that in the past, for set-up and breakdown of the shows, they have not had the a/c turned on, and it got pretty warm, rather quickly. But during the show itself, felt pretty comfortable.

    I tend to be a little warm most of the time and in my past visits, it's been warm enough that I wished I could wear shorts, but it is definitely cooler by the end of the day so I'm glad I go with lightweight pants and short sleeves.

    Hey Jim, last year in Vegas they kept the hall fairly comfortable. I am a cold weanie, so I wore a light overshirt most of the time. Presentation rooms were quite chilly! I would pack a light overshirt or sweater just in case. Safe trip down!

    Hey, Jim...

    In all likelihood the A/C will be on; there's no other real source of ventilation for the buildings @ the convention centre.

    Pearce & I tend to wander around in short sleeves & jeans, just because we do. But then we're tropicalized Canucks & have lost much of our thermal stuffing. Not like when we first left T.O. in '96 & people down here thought we were nuts wearing shorts & t-shirts @ 60F.

    Hope to see you there,
