Chunky....I have reserved rooms for the Hall of Fame recipients, but one of them may not be attending. Let me double check on that today and I will give you the confirmation number for the room (its a double) to change the name on it and you can have it.
Here is the web site for the Best Western which is just down the street from the Ramada. Dee Dee, our contact at the Ramada said she spoke with John over there and worked a reciprocal agreement for us on over flow. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwest...ctInfo.do#null you will need to mention that "Dee Dee at the Ramada referred you due to our block being booked".
Here is the Orbitz site also for additional resources:

It's a double edged sword thing with the rooms.....on one hand its an inconvienance to have to travel over to another hotel to attend the banquet, but its also good we have the block taken up and that bodes well for attendance.
Yeah...on the virus thing...I nipped one of the problems in the bud and that was the teenage daughter. She has since lost all internet access except for homework and that is supervised. The boot sector virus was narrowed down yesterday to a floppy disc I had that I stored MS Word files on. Each time I lost the hard drive and reformatted it, I would then reload the virus when adding back the Word Documents.....talk about a vicous circle. And this was after I had scanned this floppy with Norton 2005 a while back :evil:
Losthawg...I've got the latest version of PC-Cillin loaded, two firewalls (one at the router and the other from the software), and run Lavasofts Ad-Aware daily as well. I just switched over to PC-Cillin from Norton 2005 as the Symantec products are a resource hog and the new stuff I have is rated higher and catches more stuff. Plus it is more user friendly for me, is 3 times faster when running a full system scan and uses half the running resources of Symantec. I liked and used Norton for many years (since version 2000), but they are now about in the middle of the pack compared to a lot of the others out there. Competition is a good thing 8)
