Not even close, for me. But since I live in Las Vegas, I've the opportunity to attend more than the average, I imaging. I've attended at least 16 and still counting. Well, I've actually only attended the exhibits and not any of the conferences, if that counts. When I was just starting to get into video (I had only worked film systems before '89), I attended something in downtown San Francisco in 1990 but I can't remember the name of the conference. I attended some classes that was taught by the "Video Smithy" or "Video Smitty". Does anyone remember who that was and what his name was? If I remember right, it had Smith in there. The class really helped me get into helical scan equipment as I was just assigned to take care of a large Umatic editing suite. Anyone know what he is up to these days? ------------------------------ Subject: [opendtv] Anyone been to more than 42 NAB shows? If so, how many? TTFN, Mark ------------------------------
