	1) Meeting OS/2 users.
	2) Talking to vendors.
	3) Attending presentations. (the few I was able to attend)

	1) That this event exists at all.
	2) Even though this event and how it was run had its rough edges, 
	I believe there is the making of first class operation that can be very helpful to OS/2 users.
	3) The energy and enthusiasm of the participants.

	1) The very congenial atmosphere;
	2) The variety of vendors & products represented;
	3) The chance to meet other Warpers

	1. location- great hotel
	2. Actually meeting OS/2 gurus
	3. Actually seeing great OS/2 apps demonstrated; and even though you didn't ask,
	4. being able to come away with the idea that maybe OS/2 might continue to survive for us SOHOs	

	1. Near so I could come from here (southern Wisconsin).
	2. Not downtown - so access and parking are not problems.
	3. Getting to know a few of the OS/2 people whose names I see online.	

	1. Great people
	2. Good vendor setups
	3. Good program

	Buying software, Putting faces to email and author names and the dinners.

	Chance to meet other users.  I rarely meet an OS/2 user in my
	local area Esther's session on Dealing with the Computer Press.  This was
	worth the approximately $500 cost of attending Warpstock. Chance to meet
	vendor staff.

	Exhibit hall, meeting people, Aurora session	

	Exhibit prices were good; free software drawing; Tibur was great	

	Getting to meet other OS/2 users, Putting faces with names, 
	Reinforcement that OS/2 is alive

	Good mix of presentations, good mix of vendors, great attitude by everyone!

	OS/2 from Brad Wardell;use of Java and REXX.
	
	Just being there with some great people, the exhibit hall & the great
	special pricing available, didn't attend half the sessions I planed on
	because the exhibit hall was so much fun

	Location, price

	Meeting fellow users, seeing product demos, being on vacation

	Meeting other OS/2 users and developers, idea exchange.

	That it happened at all.	

	The "community", The excitement, and the organization	

	The ambiance, the hotel, the overall quality	

	The chance to meet with other OS/2 Warp and Warp Server professionals from
	around the world.  The exhibitors. OS/2 and OS/2 people, they are the BEST!

	The chance to see and discuss os/2 products and use with other
	users apart from any IBM influence.  I am *very* appreciative of the
	effort contributed to make it happen after the original Chicago team bowed
	out. I think relying on IBM for  *anything* is just plain stupid.  Oh, I
	guess that *is* something we can rely  on them for, stupidity.	

	The exhibits, the vendor demonstrations, and the seminars	

	The Hotel Bar, the Logo,  the vendor area	

	THE PEOPLE

	The people, the commoradorie, the people.	

	The people, the presentations, the software for sale	

	The people.	

	The personal interaction with other OS/2 users; I gained more knowledge;
	it was lots of fun	

	The presentations, the vendor displays and demos, the bargains	

	The quality of the presentations, the quantity or presentations, and the exhibit hall

	The Raffle/Giveaway, The People, The Enthusiasm	

	The trip; just the whole idea; getting to talk to other OS/2 users in person.

	The volunteers, IBMs participation, location	

	Variety of topics/tracks, evening events, much better dealer's room	

	Vendor exhibits, meeting OS/2 users, programming sessions	

	Vendors, discussions with OS/2 users, organization	

	Well-planned session tracks, very good speakers, low registration cost

	1) Meeting serious people who are working with programming - (had kind of
	expected more hobbyists)
	2) Meeting some OS/2 press people

	1) Only 24 hours per day.
	2) Only 2 days long.
	3) General public should get into exhibition hall free.	

	1) The programming schedule was confusing
	2) I think programming should've started early Friday evening to take advantage 
	of every hour in the weekend
	3) Don't have a third complaint :-)	

	1. I could get there only Sunday.
	2. It would be nice to have more space for the vendor booths. It got a bit hectic 
	in there at times.
	3. Coming in in the middle, I found it a bit difficult to understand where
	everything was. A little map of the rooms would have been useful. Probably not a 
	problem for full attendees.	

	1. The location, in October I like warm!
	2. Nothing particularly Warpstocky item to bring home ie: pin, t-shirt, etc. 
	Price it in to the registration.
	3. I thought the facilities were over rated, though I appreciate there was 
	need to find something	

	1.IBM's complete failure to even admit that OS/2 exists
	2.IBM's complete failure to admit that OS/2 users are customers
	3.There should have been a "sign up here to sue IBM" petition.	

	Bars not open long enough, not enough time for everything, lack of IBM support

	Cancelled (at the last minute) TCP/IP Lan session - this session was a
	significant reason for me attending the event - I note that no "comment on
	session" block is in the survey for this one Sessions needed to be
	officially stretched to 90 minute range 0800 Session start time!!	

	Chris Graham's presentation running into Brad Wardell's presentation time	

	Cost of hotel, short duration of event for distance traveled, facilities at 
	hotel weren't best suited for this type of event	

	Cost of meals in hotel, the overlapping sessions, hardware problems of vendors

	Few speakers had handouts, visiting vendors precluded attending sessions,
	few affordable dining options

	For me bad time of year as I take time off end of October which made it
	difficult to do both, therefore I had to give up on Warpstock (I
	registered and did not attend), and I am a novice and when I looked at the
	program I was overwhelmed because it all looked way too over my head and I
	didn't think I'd get much out of it and lost my enthusiasm	

	Hard to meet people, things were too spread out, the schedule	

	Hotel is too remote, Like a place that you can walk to something out side the hotel
	and not rely on having a vehicle, More IBMers and technical stuff, Hotel a
	little to expense for what it had to offer.	

	Hotel overbooked	

	Hotel service, hotel service, hotel service	

	I couldn't attend on Sunday!, the S-L-O-W line for my badge (which turned
	out to be the wrong name!), the drawn-out drawings.	

	I didn't see some of the courses listed; hard to find rooms; exhibit room
	was too small	

	IBM didn't participate as much as it could have; I couldn't attend the
	Saturday sessions; not enough sessions	

	Insufficient time and facility for lunch -Saturday especially,  schedule
	conflicts (an important ingredient of any successful conference)	

	Isolation of location (hotel), I miss last year's museum, lack of lunch
	break Saturday

	It ended, It started so early in the morning, I didn't bring enough money.

	It was cold in the building, food service wasn't particularly
	good for what you paid.	

	Lack of publicity; lack of communal meeting areas for attendees; poor
	information dissemination during the event	

	Last-minute changes in presentation times, sessions were too long and ran
	at the same time, making it impossible to see all the good ones, and there
	was not enough free time between to stop at the vendors	

	LEAKY ROOF

	Leaky roof, distance to downtown, lack of local amenities	

	Lunch not included in price, hotel did not offer shuttle service to
	airport, lack of IBM presence	

	Lunch schedule mix-up on Sat. (were the published afternoon times correct or not?)

	Missed opportunity with original local committee, IBM's virtual
	non-presence and ambivalence, lack of definition of OS/2's future--I had
	hoped for some news from Dirk Terrell	

	Need more vendors, would like to see more technical, food options,	

	Network Connection, to busy to see any presentations, leaky roof ;)	

	Network facilities, raffle prizes, lack of IBM support	

	No breaks for lunches- you had to miss something to eat..	

	No clock in the hotel; too short;

	No organized social events and presentations times were too close together
	(can't think of a third).	

	No time for lunch on Saturday,	

	Not enough Publicity, Newspaper, radio, TV , I see no reason that little
	cards or fliers can't be given out at Schools, Computer stores and
	computer shows that have thousands of people in attendance

	Not enough time to see all the presentations, hotel leaked and had poor A/C and they
	even charged for the in-room cookies!! (after charging me $100 a night for
	a room!!), and not enough people saw my presentation!!!

	Quality of some of the presentations

	Session interest conflicts, lack of time for lunch/exhibit hall,
	cancellation of raffle

	Session timing started out very rough, no lunch/dinner, leaky roof	

	Small conference, no planned evening events, poor participation by the OS's
	vendor IBM

	Somehow need to provide multiple presentations that don't collide.	

	The bickering between the first and second committees (I noticed a few Chicago
	area names sat this one out),  No "fun" attraction like 97's "OS/2
	Museum", it didn't seem as though there was connectivity in every room as
	there had been in '97

	The conferences were did not allow enough time in between, the overruns
	hurt participation is the next session.  The distance between the vendor
	arena and the conference rooms was too great.  The schedule was not clear,
	placards at each room should have that room's conferences highlighted.	

	The Hotel, The fact that exhibits were not in the speaker area, Cost to
	get from airport to hotel and back	

	The inability to be in two sessions at the same time.  The networking
	session that fell through	

	The INN prices; the lack of venders; the lack of talks for Personal OS/2
	users.

	The leaky hotel. The LATE badge pickup and the delayed start on Saturday
	morning. The location of the hotel, not close to anything else (walking
	distance to other things, restaurants, shops, etc.	

	The leaky roof. The hotel room overbooking on Thursday night requiring
	relocation to other hotel property. The snafu with original group and IBM
	building unavailability.	

	The organization could have been better -- as mentioned previously, the
	lack of Internet access in the exhibit hall.  The leaking roof and the
	poor food service of the deli.	

	The social snobbery of some of the attendees/sigs/organizers.  We expected
	to be around like minded people who were rather fanatic about OS/2.
	Instead most people kept to their pre-arranged groups.  We joined all
	three user groups but were excluded from all their private events.  We
	actually ended up teaming with others that weren't part of the "inner
	circle" and had a great time.  I won't expect as much next time.  I'll
	simply go for the presentations and vendors and stay away from the
	politics.

	Too far from downtown Chicago, a bit silent after hours, two
	days is too short:make it three full days

	Unprofessional appearance, small size, lack of more organized meeting
	opportunities

	Went over too quickly

	Wyndham hotel

	Excellent, again. I attended Warpstock 97, and '98 - and you can bet
	your booties I'll be at Warpstock 99.  My only real complaint: At
	Warpstock 97, some of the "popular" sessions were repeated at another
	place and time; this allowed me to juggle the schedule a bit better. Too
	often at Warpstock 98, I felt that I was giving up one or two sessions so
	that I could attend another.  It would have been great to have a "second
	chance" to attend sessions on programming, OS/2 internals, etc.

	Go to a longer day for more sessions	

	GREAT conference, especially considering that "OS/2 is dead"!

	How about taping the sessions, Visual  or even just Audio?  What if attendees
	brought their own camcorders to do so? What happened to the Warpstock 97
	tapes?	

	I found '98 to be a little more sterile than '97. While I did meet some
	very fine people, most were passing by trying to find their way to the
	next event. One quickly learned not to assume that all in the hall were
	not Warped. As noted earlier, there was not a place to sit and BS with
	OS/2 folks. At '97 we talk in the building, at the coffee pot, outside in
	the sun, to and from the hotel.	

	I had a bunch of stuff here but decided it would be better to just post it
	to the Warpstock list.  Thanks for inspiring me.	

	I think it was GREAT!  The fact that it was all organized by volunteers
	without any corporate sponsorship makes it doubly better!  Congratulations
	and Kudos to all of those that contributed.  I hope to be able to
	participate next year.	

	I would be willing to spend up to $200 for entrance to WarpStock '99 if
	that would buy a full time group to prepare a better WarpStock '99.  A
	better WarpStock would have reliable Internet Access.  A better WarpStock
	would have presentation rooms setup in advance so that speakers would not
	have the problems which occurred for the Star Office speaker.  There would
	be reliable telephone connections, reliable internet connections, etc.
	These types of details need to be verified by having one or more persons
	actually inspect the site before the event or even before the site is
	selected.  Events about technical stuff such as computer operating systems
	really are not much of an event if you can't see the technology working.
	Perhaps even $200 isn't enough. As an organizer of a couple of user groups
	while working an insane job, I sympathize with the volunteers. But there
	is only so much volunteers can do and it may require (at least for the
	time surrounding WarpStock) full time staff.  Of course, raising the price
	of event admission is going to cut down on the number of people who can
	attend -- perhaps cutting down on your revenues.  But attending WarpStock
	to see product demos and then being unable to see demos due to technical
	glitches is frustrating. I am sorry I don't have any simple solutions --
	perhaps having Warp Stock in the Phoenix area where WarpStock could take
	advantage of a large user group, POSI, is the way to go.  Perhaps, IBM
	could help sponsor the event. Whatever you do, I hope to see you next year
	at a bigger and better Warp Stock.	

	I would have liked the "tracks" more evenly distributed throughout the
	weekend; it seemed the technical track was overloaded on Sunday.

	I would like to have seen some more computer hardware
	manufacturers/resellers of systems and accessories as well as peripherals,
	sessions for the soho user, sessions on maintaining/upgrading os/2
	computer systems effectively, some open QA sessions for problem solving,
	and examples or success stories for various items like scanner support,
	cable modem use, upgrading/building systems successful configurations,
	finding good sources of hardware like tape drives, etc.

	I would like to see an all inclusive social activity. And T-shirts for all -- optional add
	on to registration fee

	I'd love it if Warpstock could be on a Friday and Saturday instead of
	Saturday and Sunday.  I understand the reasons, but I vote (if that
	matters) for Friday and Saturday for next year.	

	I'm glad I came this year, and wish I had gone to '97 from the description
	I got from those who went, but that was really to far away.	

	If you could get some vendors to send gurus to help with specific problems--a Warpstock
	help desk, that would be great, I think.	

	It would be nice to schedule the presentations/demonstrations, so there isn't so much overlap.

	Late publication of session schedules - would be much better if these were
	known in advance, especially needed for making Sunday night travel home
	plans. Remote hotel issues. Hotel was quite nice, but it's location added
	considerably to cost of trip.  A downtown location - if the hotel price
	could have been kept the same would have eliminated need for rental car /
	limo service, and would have been closer to my favorite restaurants
	(another reason to go to Chicago) Restaurants in hotel closed early - only
	Bar food available at 10PM, not good considering the remote location. If
	"workshop" sessions such as were at Warpstock 97 - build your own LAM -
	are held they should be held twice to avoid conflicts. Fewer conflicts in
	"key" sessions this time, but consideration should always be given

	My two favorite presentations of Warpstock 98 were omitted from this survey!
	I found both the StarOffice 5 and Oz of Prevention CMMS presentations and
	demos to be very informative and of the best value of all presentations
	attended.  Why were they not listed in this survey? I am looking forward
	to Warpstock 99.

	Next stop in Pittsburgh, Pa	

	Number of sessions is right for 2 days, but expanding it to 3 days with 4
	session tracks would make trip more worthwhile. Don't forget a lunch
	break. Extend vendor showcase an hour after last session (let them open
	later). Location needs more (and more affordable) dining options. Provide
	Internet access so attendees can check email. I would have been satisfied
	with a more modest venue. Provide social activity on Saturday night for
	non-POSSI members.	

	Overall I was very pleased with the even and hope to attend next year.  My
	only regret is that I didn't get a chance to meet as many people as I had
	hoped to.	

	Overall, a great event.  Needed publicity though.  Also, I feel that
	OS/2's future direction MUST be better defined outside the "IBM sphere". 
	OS/2 is bleeding users and thus software/hardware support.  If this is not
	accomplished soon, it might not be possible to turn things around.	

	Someone has to work harder at making it BIG - we travelled from Toronto,
	cost us a lot of money when you convert our dollar to USD, and felt it
	could have been held in a church basement! make it worthwhile to travel
	there. one poor guy came from the Netherlands - I wonder what he thought !
	There has to be plenty for everyone - the exhibitors that attended were
	fine - but many more are needed.  BTW losing the registrations is bad form
	- on the upside, we were accommodated nicely, but it took almost an hour,
	and we were only to be there the one day, so we lost a lot of time we
	would have liked to spend at the show, instead of at registration.	

	Taking everything into consideration, the organizers and other volunteers
	did a fantastic job

	Thanks to everyone who made it possible.	

	The only thing (really) lacking was the Internet Connectivity. I know that
	Jason worked his butt off, and a lot of it wasn't his fault. But the fact
	remains that the Internet connection royally SUKD. I think the organizing
	committee for next year's event should take into consideration that an
	Internet connection is a MAJOR factor in this event. Also, as to the
	"social" activities .... personally I thought they were GREAT ....
	however, they were NOT arranged by either the Steering Committee or the
	Organizing Committee. Friday's dinner was conceived by (mostly) Judy
	McDermott, as an Unofficial Warpstock Function. Saturday's dinner was
	arranged by POSSI, and the Sunday night get-together in the Oak Bar was
	"thrown together" at the last minute by a bunch of IRCers. The "Official"
	unofficial get-together Friday night, in the Oak Bar, was a good chance to
	meet other Vendors, as well as the members of the organizing committee,
	but as 	an "Event", it lacked a lot of, well, everything. If I hadn't been
	introduced to Stan, I'd have never known he was there. Please, don't take
	these items I've pointed out as "destructive Criticism". I realize the
	pressure everyone was under to pull this event off, given the problems
	that cropped up with the original Chicago Team. And all in all, I think
	everyone did a FANTASTIC job. I just want to point out a few shortcomings
	that I noticed, that should be addressed for next years event.	

	Travel expense and event cost will have primary impact as to whether I can attend
	next year.

	Warpstock was a success, no matter the long distance from Hamburg, Germany
	where I came from. I will surely come again!	

	WarpStock was great! A couple of my opinions. 1) General public should get
	into exhibition hall free or a very reduced rate. Vendors want to show
	their wares to as many people as possible. We probably lost a few locals
	because of their inability (or unwillingness) to pay the day rate for a
	trip around the tables. 2) Possibly set aside a couple of separate times
	per day when just the exhibition hall is active for all to peruse. 3)
	Maybe have a 3 day event. Day 1 - Exhibition Hall only (cheap for locals,
	Welcome address and social that evening) Days 2 & 3 can be as normal. The
	"exhibition only" day could actually be any of the three days. A social
	could be part of that day if it is day 1 or 2. 4) Definite need for an
	evening social event to gather all attendees on at least one evening. 5)
	declare the days to be at least 8 hours longer. 32 hour days would allow
	a lot more time to gather information and mingle. :)	

	Well just as long as Warpstock chooses a motel closer to food places and
	one that dose not have a leaky roof	

	What's up with a Warp 5 client after Aurora ships?	

	Where can I buy Warpstock 99 tickets????	

	Where is the statement about confidentiality regarding responses to this
	survey?  You asked about the opening session but not the Sat
	afternoon/raffle session or the closing session.  You state that "the
	survey lists EVERY presentation," but it doesn't - you didn't ask about
	the vendor presentations.	

	WS98 was a tremendous success because it showed that the OS/2 user
	community can do something on their own, even recovering from a
	near-disaster (mutiny?). Imagine what we can do when we *really* get our
	act together.  We simply must get some advance notice, some advance press
	and follow-ups reporting on what happened, and make this as well-known and
	well-respected (if not as much as Comdex...) at least as much as
	LotusSphere or the annual Java get-together.
