Hello, Today, I attended Lansing's first (in my memory) Information Technology Event where over 50 IT vendors came together to show their products to potential customers and give presentations. It was definitely worthwhile to go to this FREE event at the Lansing Center. Many of the presentations are repeated on Thursday, December 6th, and you can still print a FREE Web Registration Pass at: http://events.goitec.com/regatt/register.asp?ec=MITS01 The event schedule is at: http://events.goitec.com/seminars/default.asp?ec=mits01&sortBy=days&ey=2001 Even if you aren't planning any IT purchases in the near future, you can still get some ideas and talk to some knowledgeable people on the showroom floor. At one of the booths, I ran into a former MSU student who worked for me, Tony Kaczmarek, who is now President of Kors Engineering! His company sells a PDA & Bar Code Reader system that does a combination of (computer) asset management and (computer) project accounting. I wonder where he got that idea from???
