Thanks a lot, Roger. I hope I can get back to the hotel before midnight 
:) It is clear as if you are currently in Chicago ( I guess you are not 
because of your signature, but I may be wrong. Oh, I may be correct this 
time. The mail header shows your time is 21:16. :)

By the way, any more recommendations are welcome. I will not fly to 
Chicago until next two weeks; it looks like I now have something not IT 
in my calendar :)
