A trip report on SIGSOFT '91

The foundations for these are my own handwritten notes. Since these are seldom whole sentences, I must often paraphrase. I have tried always to be as accurate and as true to the speaker's intention as possible. I apologize if anyone feels misrepresented herein. I hope no one will. The viewpoint is inescapably mine, however. Also, those who insist on speaking with slides in a darkened room risk having three pages melt down to a paragraph.
