[ACT-R-users] 2009 ACT-R Post Graduate School

[Wayne Gray]

John and all.

I don't know if it would change anyone thinking, but it is definitely  
the case that CogSci will be starting on Wednesday 7/29 not Thursday  
7/30. As in recent years we expect that there will be a strong program  
of tutorials and workshops on Wednesday. Not everyone goes to these,  
but they have become very popular.
