[NJARC] meeting location

[Scott Roberts]

Let me inject my 2 cents into the debate- I am really
kinda partial to Sarnoff for the usual selfish
reasons-  I know how to get there in a hurry easily,
it is a bit closer, and I just really like the place.

That said, I also enjoy InfoAge because of the
historic setting, the workshop area, the museum, etc.
However, it involves a bit more driving for me, mainly
on stop and crawl Rt. 70. (GSP makes up part of my
route there, but only a few miles of it.)

(Taking I-195 or the Turnpike are not options for me,
as I am far enough south, it would be like taking a
swing through Detroit to get to NYC from
Philadelphia...)

Anyway, all that said, I do miss meetings anyway from
time to time: Why not just alternate locations
monthly?  That way it evens out for those of us closer
to Sarnoff, and also for those closer to InfoAge.
