1. According to old threads on the list, the hotel is supposed to be providing 
all of the power strips this time around, along with the labor to tape them 
down.  If we're doing it all, that a very big last-minute project, and impacts 
I thought the union rules for the hotel.

2. I shipped the powerstrips we used in past years to CTE offices - nowhere 
the quantity you mention thought.

3. The best price I see for 6' strips is Fry's Electronics - $25/ea.

4. Due to the ballroom layouts and the cramped space, I thought we were not 
using many tables, so why are so many strips needed?
