As I recall from working at Frankfurt, you spend most of the open-to-the-public days completely focused on preventing everything in your booth from getting stolen. We had to keep an eye on every last guitar knob. Not a lot of time left for politely answering the same question for the 900th time, which you're in no mood for by the fifth day of a huge trade show anyway. The nice thing about Frankfurt though, was that people were quite polite about the fact that I was a total moron and could only answer their questions in English. Most of them were then able to gracefully switch from German or whatever to English, making me feel even stupider. But I did very much appreciate that, and I'm sure it doesn't work the other way around in LA. kim ________________________________________________________ Kim Flint 408-752-9284 Mpact System Engineering kflint@chromatic.com Chromatic Research http://www.chromatic.com
