Subject: [WSFA]  L.A.Con IV Internet Lounge Information
Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net>

Good morning cadets,

I am very happy to announce that L.A.con IV now has an internet
lounge.

This has been achieved through the good works of a couple of well
respected fannish organisations.  Noreascon 4, sponsored by MCFI, and
SFSFC, who brought you ConJose have made grants which allowed us to
afford the expensive connectivity provided by the vendor in the Anaheim

Convention Center.

The computers and attached bits are being provided by the folks who
bring you the Baycon internet lounge.

There will not be WiFi.  (As generous as MCFI and SFSFC might be,
$30,000+ is a bit out of anyone's available budget.)

But there will be ten stations: eight with computers and two where you

can connect your laptop directly to the line.  (You
can tell I'm not an IT guy.)

These will be located in the Space Port Lounge, our 11,000 sq. ft.
dining, lounging, drinking, hanging out area in the
Convention Center.  Look for the signs that say:  "space academy
intergalactic computer network access points"

  L.A.con IV thanks these groups for their very generous donations.

Thank you N4/MCFI & SFSFC!

Christian B. McGuire
