Who will be going, I will...

What is that? Similiar to Comdex?

Consumer Electronics Show - http://www.cesweb.org/

I have never been to COMDEX, but this is the largest I think. It hosts everything to do with consumer electronics including computers etc. I think there was already more than 100,000 regestered mid Dec, and 1500 companies.....

Hmm, I hadn't heard of it previously.[nbsp][nbsp]But now that they're sending out spam, you can bet I won't be in attendance.[nbsp][nbsp]Who the heck is leroy?![nbsp][nbsp](edit: I suppose someone could have given them an incorrect email address...)

Seems cool, I will look into it for next year.

There are some things you just can't get at Office Depot. ;)

#@%![nbsp][nbsp]They still won't take me off their mailing list.[nbsp][nbsp]:(

At least today's spam contained something of interest:
Panasonic PalmCam

Does your camera use both 1.44 MB floppy and 120MB SuperDisk diskettes?[nbsp][nbsp]Is it capable of storing up to 1500 images? Record motion picture with audio? The new PalmCam does this and more.[nbsp][nbsp]It's the Digital Imaging category winner. I've been saying for 3 years now that it's crazy the LS-120 and Mavica lines of thought haven't merged.[nbsp][nbsp]Or at the very least, you'd think Sony would use their own 200 mb floppy drive system.[nbsp][nbsp]Imagine the damage Deb could do with that![nbsp][nbsp]If only I had a marketing dept. and an R&amp;D group at my disposal, I could've struck it rich on this one...
