Resending with the links in the original message below fixed - forgot that my host is a linux server and cares about case sensitivity. My bad. That's what I get for posting at 1am.

Spent a bit of time in the EMC2 booth at the NAMES show today. Dale is a wonderful guy. Very outgoing. Very knowledgeable. Very polite. Very giving. All around a good person to have in the booth. I on the other hand am a shy person so it took me a while to get the courage to strike up conversation with everyone who stepped up the edge of the EMC2 area. But I tried to help as best I could. Once my medical issues got to be too much to take without becoming a prick and alienating possible future EMC2 users I had to leave Dale to fend for himself. Hind sight I should have given him a chance to run and use the bathroom if needed. Then I walked and saw a bit of the displays, I haven't really be into the steam engines but they are pretty cool, especially the couple models of scale machine shops of yesteryear. Those were pretty cool. I've got some pics here from the show showing the EMC2 booth with Dale working in it. Should've gotten a good overall shot of the Convention, but I didn't.

Some decent deals to be had, some prices higher than online, some slightly lower from the couple of online vendors (like Little Machine Shop). I had fun and will be back tomorrow afternoon to help Dale dismantle the booth and get the pictures back. If someone would like to have the photo boards for the EMC Workshop out at Stuart's in Kansas let me know and we can work it out. Alex - contact me off list to coordinate what you want to do about posting the photo boards on www.linuxcnc.org <http://www.linuxcnc.org/> . Be patient while these pictures load - they are good sized jpegs (be glad I didn't use the raw files that the camera produces ;-) ) and they aren't formatted for monitor sizes, maybe tomorrow. I need to go to bed. Good night everyone!
