In addition, hotels aren't always that good at handling large 
numbers of reservations. I spent the better part of a day prior to 
the 1985 convention in Louisville typing in reservations from 
small slips of paper into a computer so that comprehensive lists 
could be made and analysis of the reservations done because the 
hotel was not able to straighten things out.
