Posted this gaming comment on the Picard/Crusher/Warp Drive page by mistake, so here it goes again: If you like to game, come join CONTACT for COTI. COTI is a challenge and a hoot -- you might find yourself as part of an alien team that includes some of the top scientists and futurists on Earth. CONTACT is described on its homepage, which links to COTI descriptions: http://www.contact-conference.com/ (Rick Sternbach is one of the founders.) This year, Larry Niven will be the COTI shepard. Great small, inexpensive, mind-blowing conference in Sunnyvale, California. Don Scott, writer, teacher, mind-ranger

If you like gaming, try COTI: http://www.contact-conference.com/ This year the COTI Director will be Larry Niven. Great, inexpensive, small fun conference in Sunnyvale (AKA Silicon Valley.) (Rick Sternbach is one of the founders.) COTI is a hoot and an intellectual challenge to boot.
