    Has anyone ever considered re-locating the annual conference to
a different location? Originally it was held in Kansas City because
that's where it's main sponsor (Resource Central/ICON) was situated.
Now that they're defunct, and Apple II users themselves control the
event, there's no reason for it to remain there. Though of course, if
people have a preference for the location and the Avila campus in
particular, then there's no reason to change it.

    I just feel Kansas City is a rather unusual location, but then
maybe I'm just wishing it was in a State bordering eastern Canada
so I could just drive down. ;-) Then again, I guess the sound of
"MaineFest", "VermontFest", "NewHampshireFest", "NewYorkFest" or
even "MichiganFest" doesn't have the same ring as KansasFest. :)
I'm not implying it should change, just curious really.
