Part of the fun of being "into" computers
is going to Las Vegas every November. That's when they have the COMDEX
Convention. The size of this convention is totally unbelieveable. Each
year I've gone, I was determined to stay an extra day the next year. Last
year we stayed for the full five days and still didn't see it all.
You meet the darndest people there! This picture was taken in 1995. You know...it's the funniest thing...he looked like John Wayne but the Australian accent sure didn't fit! I also got a picture with my girlfriend from Vegas and three BIG View Sonic birds! And a badge that plays bird chirps. I brought home about eight new T-shirts so I could advertise for everybody. Gee, what more could I ask? Well, I'll tell you. I **WON** a Supra Data/Fax 28.8 Modem. Then I **WON** Microsoft Office Professional with Bookshelf, on CD, for Windows 95. Then I **WON** a full colof QuikCam and I love it. I made Photo ID badges for my grandkids and made them "honorary members" of my car club, Cool Runnin' Camaros.
Even more important, I saw new technology, new products and learned many things about the new software just coming out. When I took MS Office Professional home, that complete package was not even on the store shelves yet. It is exciting at COMDEX. I was told that if you spent just 2 minutes at each booth at COMDEX, starting when they open at 10:00 A.M. Monday morning, didn't miss any time through the week right up to 4:00 P.M. Friday night, you would not be able to see everything at COMDEX. I didn't believe it until the first show I attended. Plus each booth has more than you can see in 2 minutes. If you've never been there, try it!
Update 1998 --- Another five days at Comdex. Another great show! We saw a lot and did everything. I just thought you might enjoy a picture I got this year. Agfa's promotional was to wear an Agfa box with a picture of a Borg (Resistance is Futile) in order to possibly win a digital camera and/or scanner. My friend Jeannie was determined to win and for goodness sakes!...She did **WIIN** a great Agfa scanner.
