You obviously try to twist things. Are you really expecting people to present papers and descriptions of demos before the demos? No company does that. Programmer?? For example, do you expect a programmer to post source code before the public release and show? Or release a journal paper and presentation before the demo of a new program/ like a video game. Or a car company to present technical specs before they take it to a show. They just give general descriptions or perhaps a screen shot. That does not mean the have not tested the car or have not run a program and even tested a beta product. Why oh why do you conclude that just because I (or anyone) do not tell YOU ever thing before a demo that I do not have data, and other information? If you had not been kicked out of CMNS (or run off?) , you would have even been able to find the months of prep leading up to this, including a shot of my booth "back wall" and even what music selection that would be used as background. Strange expectations and as always, assuming the worst in others instead of hoping for the best in others. D2 PS, I expect to be writing up an article for IE about NI Week (by request). But that must wait till after the event, since Defkalion is still an unknown. (will they or won't they, and what will it be) Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:32:03 -0400 Subject: Re: [Vo]:DGT or ECAT?

Assuming it works. This is mind boggling!!! I cannot imagine anyone going to a conference or a trade show with a device he intends to show who has not written a description of the device, and a script for a presentation, and who has not prepared gobs of data. Are you planning to wing it? Try the gadget for the first time in the conference hall??? Good grief! When I think of the weeks of work I put into trade show demos and customer demos in my youth, sweating bullets and rehearsing and rehearsing and rehearsing . . . To hear from you that you cannot write it up until after the presentation, makes my head spin. Of course the gadget may not work right, but that is all the more reason should have every detail nailed down, with gobs of paper and video presentation available in that event, ready to present in lieu of the demonstration. Heck I have devoted weeks to the paper I will present, and a month to Mizuno's poster presentation, and I will put another month into them when I get back. You are not realistic. And you are meshugganah, going off half cocked and unrehearsed! All I can say is, you are the polar opposite of a programmer. We leave nothing to chance, except when we must. - Jed
