G'day folks,
Turns out many if not all of us live or have relatives in Chicago.
Is it possible for us to all meet in Chicago for a weekend...perhaps
during the holidays if we are all visiting relatives in Chicago then?
An alternative would be to set up a "Cinematronics weekend" where
everyone comes to Chicago and I put you up Saturday night. We'd be
able to hack all weekend in probably one of the most conducive
environments around....Rick's basement (with both my and his inventory
to draw on)!! Doug Jefferys did this about two years ago, and he'll
tell you that he was extremely productive!!!!
Along other lines, I talked things over with Paul, and we are considering
setting up a conference call with Larry Rosenthal...the guy who designed,
debugged and made the Cinematronics hardware! Unfortunately, after looking
into things a little bit, it looks like conference calls would cost a
quarter per person per minute!! Quite expensive...but not expensive
enough to deter me!!! Are any of you interested in this if you have
to foot the bill for yourself? The call would probably last for less
than an hour (= $15/per person in phone charges), since he probably
won't give us any more of his time than that....I'm assuming he's
willing to talk with us.
