Anyone who has ever attended a KFest knows that there is never a physical
threat to anyone, period.  (Unless you feel that clandestine beer is a
threat, of course)

I sponsored KFest '96 through my company "Kellers Auto Electric, Inc." and it
was at that Kfest that the concepts of TCP/IP connections and SIS web-browsing
were born.  I had absolutely nothing to do with these software developments,
but, it was the Forum that KFest provided that caused capable brains to storm
and invent the future.

Any Apple II enthusiast that has never attended a KFest has missed a wonderful
and thriving (if smallish) community experience.
