Well it was on my dime, Josh, while on vacation, so maybe some day you can do it too. I was hoping to get in front of a few people in which case I might have been able to provide a lunch or something and get some feedback from some operators on our stuff, but alas, there was not much interest in the event. As for the babbage engines, yes, they have a couple very impressive ones, Chuck. I think I took some pics, or my wife did. I'll try to find them.
