And picture boards are _nearly_ complete - just need to make the back leg so they can freely stand on their own if needed. Check 'em out, after the show I'll coordinate with Alex Joni getting the boards posted onto the linuxcnc website, and you'll be able to see the whole layouts clearly and one by one. Here's the link:

Please if you're there and aren't running your own booth, please consider taking a short shift at the booth (tell the wife and kids they can go to the mall that's a 15min drive away and spend some money :--) ). As of the last time Dale and I corresponded I was the only other worker and can really only manage one shift a day due to my fibromyalgia. > > But, it looks like we'll have a cellular internet connection there, > so another way to help would be to monitor the EMC IRC channel during > Saturday and Sunday (9-6 and 9-4)--if there are questions people have > that folks in the booth can't answer, we may try to use IRC for quick > answers.

It's my chance to give back to the community (though donating cash to the project would probably be better because all I'm doing is advertising more and making more work for them...). The real thanks go to (aside from the developers who've made this all possible) all the people who graciously donated their pictures and machine information for use in assembling very descriptive representations of their machines and the work the do on them. I know it's cheesy but I will probably bring a turner's cube (not internally separated though) as a display piece. > Rab ("Chips" graphic), and Bob (who will be driving my machines down). > > --Dale Quick question Dale - Will there be a laptop or other machine available for videos to be played back on? A number of the people who donated also sent me video files. I can do a quick stitch of them which we could have running in a loop at the booth. I'd offer my laptop but I can't be without it for longer than my already volunteered shift (call me greedy/needy - but actually I'll have some real work I need to do this weekend). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
