I doubt it is the last opportunity you will get..

I actually registered with the concession..
as I am unemployed.. and at $99 I feel it is great value..

I think the LCA organisers picked a decent figure to 
allow me even on a tight budget to make the plunge..

Don't get me started on the goverments policy towards
the dole.. (what is now known as newstart)..as frankly
the pitance they pay doesnt cover even basic living costs 
over any significant period of time.. and had the 
conference come up in 6 months time I might very 
well have not been able to afford it.. but this time
around.. I could. and so far I think every penny has
been well spent :)

Thanks
