Anyone going to CES in January?
Stolistic:
I'll probably be going to CES next month. Just checking to see if any other NLG'ers will be in attendance too!

OH YES!
I am already signed up for it. For people that have never seen this show, this is the GRANDDADDY/BIG KAHUNA/OH BABY of electronic toy shows! (BAR NONE)
If it uses batteries/power and you can use it in your home/car/hands or wear it..it's there.Simply amazing show.
Now, as usuall..the IDIOT hotels are still screwing/gouging/cornholing and generally ripping off the visitors to the CES show.You CAN "Beat the system"
Just get a reservation AWAY from the dreaded "Strip" area and financially "Choke the life" out of these greedy A$$holes. Get your rooms at the OFF STRIP hotels and drive a few miles to the show location. There are MANY of them, Sam's Town,Cannery East,Boulder Station, Sunset Station, Fiesta, Texas Station,Arizona Charlies.
Until the Las Vegas "Strip" hotel operators finally learn that a reasonably priced room brings in more than a EMPTY room, these greedy bastards need the life choked out of them.
For hotel rooms check out www.cheapovegas.com or www.stationcasinos.com and a few others. DONT pay the inflated rip off price!!!

I used to attend the one in Chicago every year in the late and early 90's. I have never been to the one in Vegas. Did some Comdex shows but that's about it. CES has gotten smaller since they spun off E3 for interactive entertainment and such, but it is very worthwhile show to attend. You can get a lot of goodies and lots of deals on cool electronics.

Comdex....is that the co. that made those Comdial office telephones?
I'm always playing with the configurations at work...
seems like I'm always adding prefix numbers so workers can call here and there.

Comdex was the big computer show. Key phrase WAS.....
All of the computer vendors used to announce new versions and releases of software at this show.....
Then later on it everyone used to start announcing weeks before the show to get the jump on the others.
Soon Comdex became redundant and then it declared bankrupcy.
The show guide was 300 pages thick, with about an 8point font.
I was there when the president of Word Perfect made the statement "What self respecting word processing person would take their hands off the keyboard to use a thing called a mouse".
Word Perfect didn't get onto the Windows band wagon until about 3 years later, and then the product was so far behind the curve it never recovered. The question was answered. 90% of us are not self respecting word processing people.
