That's what I thought. I guess buying the IPO is not the only way to get the shaft at Priceline.com. I'd never used them before (although I did put a good price in and got it) so I thought that at some point I would be given various options regarding flight times, etc. Never happened. You give them the dates, they give you the times. That's why I called them up and went ballistic. So I (since I made a big deal out of it and talked to management) at least have the option of canceling which is strictly against the normal policy. Live and learn. Now you guys know how priceline works. Anyway, I'm inclined to go to the expo regardless of the shortened stay. The workshops or classes are probably my 3rd reason for going... out here in NC I know absolutely nobody who trades for a living. It would be kind of nice to actually meet some others who do this. The classes... I'll ask around and get to the ones that I think I need the most, but I read every book I can find on the subject always trying to learn. And seeing the vendors' displays will be good too. One of the disadvantages of trading at home is you have to develop all of your own systems, structures, applications, etc. Networking with others who have had to do the same will be good. Kind of a pooling of knowledge. Thanks for responding. I will call Delta today and try and renegotiate flights, so we'll see. Matt
