Wow!  What a show!  I believe they broke their record on
attendance at the show.

I want to extend a personal THANK YOU to Stephen Klein
who organized and helped setup the NTLUG presence
at the ITEC conference.

We had several volunteers who helped out including
(and I apologize for this list probably will leave
someone out):

Rick Cook
William Jones (a name now permantly etched in my RAM)
Dennis Daupert
Greg Pratt
Alan Wharton

and many more....

I think we had the most traffic'd booth there!!!
We had a VA Linux Server connected to the internet
via a Wireless Web Connect Ricochet modem (doing
about 170K down!), connected into a 10Mbit hub
to a workstation provided by Stephen Klein
demoing a bunch of desktop apps and
my laptop running VMWare and a Flash executable
under Win98 for Agenda.  We also has the Agenda PDA there
hooked up via serial to the server... though
I don't think we ever got to demonstrate the
connectivity.

Extra Special thanks to:

Alan Wharton - For providing a 17" monitor when my 15" blew
  on turn-on the first day (figures).
Rick Spies - For again loaning me the Ricochet modem at
  no cost... the thing is really cool... I think there's
  an entire market targeting these for the conference
  centers.
Greg Pratt - For once again loaning us the VA Server.
Angela LeWinter - For the Agenda PDA.

GREAT JOB EVERYONE... and every give a BIG THANKS to
Stephen!!
