I had a great time and was very happy to meet everyone. I have now finally seen an ebook reader in someone else's hands beside my own. Yay!! I learned about the Asus EEE (I think I'll wait), the Kindle (very nice; I want one), the Cybook Gens 1 and 3 (both impressive, in my opinion), the Rocketbook (almost but that's okay, just curious anyway), and the coolest device which was Ricky's Livescribe Pulse Pen (I have to find an excuse to buy one). I also learned about Aggies, armadillos, Lake Buck-Cannon, early computers, ideas for future avatars, fan fiction, and gun carrying laws (no one was packing, as far as I'm aware). And I have nicely bound copy of East of Eden (thanks again, Ralph). I did eventually have to leave and find my car (took me most of an hour; I almost called a taxi instead). I have to say I'm a bit wasted this morning - one too many Zany Carter Deluxes. Did you know that Panera Bread sells those with iced tea chasers? So when's the retour (add your own damn accents)?
