Not a problem- it was a great show, and Bob and I had a blast.  The highlight for me was meeting some of the people that I've either dealt with or idolized for some time.  I've never actually met in person someone I knew online and it was great to finally get together and shake hands with some of the friends I'd made.

Plus it was great seeing an playing with all the new toys! :D

     I know for me it would be like a kid in a candy store.  Wouldn't know where to start because it sounds like this show must be HUGE just from the list of companies represented and the size of the place they have it.  Correct me if I am wrong but aren't there only a handful of places is the US that can even handle a show this size?

I don't know, but it is the 29th largest trade show in the US, and took up several halls of the convention center.  It was quite an impressive place, and the halls were giant themselves.  It would take at least 5 minutes to walk from one end to the other of one of the halls if one didn't stop for anything!

     It was a tough job but I sure am glad they were up to it.  Hazardous duty pay may be in order.

It's nice to see a such wonderful coverage of a specific interest group in a well-organized and professionally done manner. Usually I have to spend several hours on quite a few different sites to see the amount of detail and attention I have seen here.

Thanks a ton!

Yeah super job fellas, you guys did your leg work, scrutinized and photographed so much and came back to your rooms and posted for us, you coulda been enjoying the sites of sin city, but instead you gave us so many cool reports and info (probably saved lots of dough and trouble)! Here's to your great efforts and hard work  :cheers:
