From: H SIEGL Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 07:07:26 -0500 Larry, You are correct in saying that the Road Show is Educational. It is nice to actually hear what the presenter is saying about his product. This is not always possible due to the extremely noisy conditions at NAB. Keep up the good work. P.S. I will try your suggestion of tying the power cords in knots. Hermann Siegl CE Nebraska ETV ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Subject: Thanks to YOU From: Mike Shane - KCRO & Jim Leedham Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 15:58:26 -0500 Larry, Thanks very much for bringing your fine presentation to Omaha once again. For those of us who don't get to go to NAB it truly is a taste of the exhibits there. Plus we don't have to travel and take as much time away from work. We always learn something we can use from you and with the various equipment on display. (Somebody said they thought I had a future in video - I dunno...;) Thanks, too, on behalf of the local SBE Chapter. Best regards and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
