| Employee Day is being used as a "dress rehearsal" for the real
thing, so I expect most exhibits will be up and running. The
QE2 will likely not be there on the 4th - I think it arrives
over the weekend. The Oceania may be there, however.
DEC is indeed paying for beefing up the pier to hold the
QE2. The way I see it, and based on past events, DECworld
ought to pay its way many times over in added sales.

You may be interested in a conference dedicated to DECWORLD!
I will try and add it to this reply so that you can use KP7 but
if it does not work the conference is at 39700::DECWORLD_87.

The QEII is for floating hotel rooms, not exhibits, so its late
arrival does not prevent employees from seeing exhibits. But
the people going to Employee Day just to see the QEII will be
disappointed.

The QEII will arrive in Boston on Sept. 8,opening day per say.
Sept 4 is employee day and is like a dress rehersal for all
involved, all equipment should be running..we hope.
The actual show will run sept 8-11 and sept 14-18.
Last count was expecting upwards of 50,000 people either
working or viewing.
Should be busy with college starting plus the 200 anniversary of
the Constitution going on at the same time..

| So far, virtually everything is correct. Employee day is more of
a dry run, with all demos (please not *exhibits*!) up and running.
The purpose of the employees invited is to "grill" the demo and
floor personnel and help fine tune the whole scene.
Having been down here since the 18th of August, and staying through
the
30th of September (for tear-down) I am continually amazed at what
we are doing here. Yes we did spend $1 million for the pier changes.

| I saw the DVN presentation of the DECworld orientation this morning.
By the end of Joe DeNucci's hilarious wrapup, I became firmly
convinced that DECworld is Ken Olsen's way of playing Walt Disney,
and DECworld is his Walt Disney World. Note that this is a
compliment!

a title that's more fun.

I agree that comparing DECworld to Walt Disney World is a
compliment.
