I'd be okay with the location change

We use less than half of the room we have right now.  Also 
sounds like the new location has easier access to outlets.

That we can use with the knowledge of the room provider?  :)

Curiousity: are SVGA projectors listed on the monitor list in 
the XFree86 setup lists?

Another question about the *current* location: what exit is the right
exit to take if I'm coming up northbound I-35 from the Kansas Side? 
Should I be taking I-70 East, or continue north on I-35 past Bartle Hall?
 I ended up driving around in an almost complete circle to get to the Oak
exit off southbound I-35 (I-35 North to I-70 East, then all the way
around to I-35 South again).

Yahoo Maps couldn't believe I wanted to go to an address on 12th Street,
and directed me to 12th Avenue instead (way too far North).
