Thank you very much Wilson for pointing it out! I will visit soon as well.

@Kyle: S7 is on my list too. I remember asking them if they used any timing
software and the answer was none. Unfortunately I have had a chance any of
the LUG events held at their place.

@Cavin: Apart from high prices for flat screens, do you have any other info
on the technology itself? For instance data transfers? Any info from using
it would be great apart from prices.

Thank you for the great opinions guys.
