I remember going to Java One, hearing Gosling, meeting Peter van der
Linden, and talking to hundreds of people.  Sun also provided banks of
Solaris machines which was like eating Ben & Gerry ice cream. They
also had JavaOS machines which were not ready for prime time, and
which were discontinued.  The hit of the conference were Java Rings, a
ring with a tiny Java chip on board that remembered how you liked your
coffee.

I also went to two Colorado Summits, one when I got to ask questions
of Bill Joy, one of the high points of my existence. It was so fun to
rub shoulders with people from all over the globe, especially the wild
and crazy Australians.

You can collect brochures more easily on the net, but nothing beats
face to face questioning with the people who created the various
products.  

I hope your conference goes well.

e.g. open the task editor, find and kill some processes.
