When and where is Siggraph held each year?  I'm planning a holiday to
the States in 2000 and am hoping to time my trip to coincide with
Siggraph so I can go.

Seems to be in August. This year again in L.A. next year somewhere else?

All the Best,

This year it's going to be in LA for the first or second week of August
.   Next year it will be in New Orleans, probably around the same time.

That's the day before Ash Wednesday, so February, give or take.

Too bad not a two-in-one vacation possibility there but New Orleans sounds like a good
trip to me anyway, I haven't been there yet and have wanted to go. However, the heat
and
humidity of July might make me think twice. It isn't outdoors is it? No, I suppose
not.
Okay then, I'm marking my calendar; and setting a few gambling dollars aside too, just
in case.

Louisiana has leagalized gambling now too ? I thought only Nevada and
Atlantic City Ga. had legal gambling. Next thing you know Utah is going
to leagalize prostitution.

way off topic, of course, but...

Many states, even here in the relatively conservative midwest, have legalized 
gambling in the form of so-called "riverboat gambling."  Sometimes the "boats" 
even leave the dock.  It's just another case of some legislator somewhere 
deciding that all those tax dollars will more than pay for the treatment for 
all the new addicts.

Oh, and Atlantic City is in NJ, but you knew that.

Sorry about the OT. What I was saying rather clumsily (clumsily? oh well...) was
associated with my parents running around to those gambling resorts (resorts? oh well
again...) and what I was actually thinking of was Tunica Mississippi, a small town
south
of Memphis Tennessee (not quite near New Orleans at all). You see, we have no gambling
to speak of in Alabama where we live and I really never have done so myself; unless
you
call buying a lottery ticket in the Seattle area gambling (yeah, ok, ok, so it is).
My folks are like many senior citizens I guess (younger set however) and have been to
Atlantic City and the likes a few times. The riverboat thing mentioned has apparently
been a sort of fiasco since I hear that many so-called "boats" are practically
attached
to dry land.
And so this OT post is'nt totally off POV-Ray:

//not real dimensions or shape of actual playing cards
#declare CardCount=52
union {
 #while (CardCount>0)
  box {-1,1 scale <1,.01,2> translate CardCount*.011*y}
  #declare CardCount=CardCount-1
 #end
}
