I haven't been to one in a while though. The admission charge is expensive and I don't like buying gear from some unknown vendor from Ohio (where if it's bad you have to pay to ship it back). Personally I think some of the stuff being sold there was stolen. I'd say they're over-rated. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
