Wayne,
I'd love to, but budgets forbid!
A ticket is around $1000, accommodation would be much the same, and before I've even left I've torn almost $AUD4K to pieces! If I exhibit, and I'd really need to to justify the trip, you might even double that, so maybe in the future, but right now, I have to pass.
But thank you for the suggestion, I'm working on it, and I'd LOVE to meet you and Mike, chew the fat, and GET EDUCATED on cables, something I need training about!
Ah, sigh, there are so many people Stateside I'd love to meet with........ one day!
Cheers,
Hugh
