RER: I absolutely have no problem-o with using laptops per past practice...it's the internet access that I disfavor.  You guys can check your stocks and bonds some other time--maybe that will reduce those motions to think. And I move to limit those to two a man before good cause must be shown the Committee of a Donut Hole or whatever you masons call yourselves....

	Those with laptops do not have additional information -- just additional
	technology.

	We could certainly ban laptops, but we've tolerated them for so long that I
	think it would be wrong to do so this close to the draft.

	Rich:

	I would be fine prohibiting internet access for the reasons you identify.
	I admit I did not consider that issue when I sent around the e-mail; I was
	really more concerned about those who draft with software (isn't that an
	advantage too?).  However, like you, I will happily follow the will of the
	league on this one.

	Thanks Mark.

	I've got one issue to raise related to draft day logistics.

	I've always been uncomfortable with the notion that some people would have
	internet access during a draft while others don't.  It seems to me that we
	should discourage people from having internet access during the draft.  How
	do others feel about this?  If the consensus is that it's not a problem,
	I'll certainly come prepared to tap into the network, on the other hand, I
	think that the better approach is not to do so.

	What say the league on this one?

	Gang:

	Here is the information for draft day 2008.

	When:   Saturday, March 15, at 8:00 a.m. (sharp)

	Where:  Sidley Austin LLP, One South Dearborn Street, Chicago  (38th floor)

	How to get in:  Each league owner is listed on the guest list for this
	Saturday.  When you arrive, you will need to present a drivers license or
	state ID, so please bring one of those.  After your ID is verified, you will
	be issued a badge that will allow you to go through the security lanes to
	get to the elevators.  Take the elevator to the 38th floor.  When you get
	off of the elevator, turn west (away from the lake) and go through the
	silver door (which will be ajar).  The draft room (38W15) is right behind
	those doors.

	Food/beverage:  Two simple rules.  First, absolutely no alcohol.  Second,
	bring any food you want to consumer during the draft.  I do not believe
	there are vending machines that are easily accessed, so please bring stuff.

	Lunch:  The draft will certainly go through lunch.  I would recommend
	bringing something for lunch so that we can avoid slowing down the draft.

	Computer/internet:  The draft room has loads of computer and internet
	facilities.  I believe there is a wired port available in front of each
	chair (along with electrical outlets), so feel free to bring computers (and
	you can have internet access).

	Call-in information:  Jim, the number is 312-507-0446.

	IMPORTANT POST-DRAFT:  After the draft, please submit a piece of paper that
	shows (a) your drafted roster, with a star next to the names of players that
	were retained pre-draft, and for each player, their current position and
	salary; (b) a list of players acquired in the rotation draft, along with the
	following information: MLB team or other affiliation, position, and salary;
	and (c) a list of any week 1 roster moves.

	How to reach me:  If you need to reach me on or before draft day, either
	e-mail me at Sidley or call me on my cell at 847-571-4114.
