If anyone knows the spaces where they will be selling (parking), post it here
and we can go and harass each other :). My guess is we won't know until the week
before. Last year, Patrick Finnigan (sp?) was there and down about 100 yards
from where I was. I got a chance to meet a number of
others on this list and it
is really great to put names with faces! If possible, why
not plan a dinner
get-together on Saturday night for the ClassicCmp group! Anyone interested?
I'll be there too in an easy to recognize blue Mazda van ... it has a set of
piano keys on each side and back of the van along with "Schwendtner Piano
Service". If anyone is into foxhunting, I've been asked to say a few words at
that forum so that will be fun. I'm also planning on trying to get an informal
transmitter hunting dinner going for Friday night. If anyone here is blind or
sight impaired, there will be a blind ARDF event on Sunday ... see
http://www.ardfusa.com for details ... and I'll be there too with a friend who
will be competing.
FYI, I called the Days Inn in Miamisburg earlier this week to make reservations
and they still had rooms available ... didn't ask how much :), and it is only
about 5 miles or so from Hara (as I recall.)

Just bought my vendor ticket and made my hotel res (a
bit far away,
unfortunately, but that's what I get for waiting so long.)
I'll be in the black Honda Element, IL plates, selling some really
useless junk if anyone wants to say "hey."

I'll look for ya then....I'm in a Knight's Inn about 15mi south.
Don't recall the town but it's right on the interstate so hopefully
not a long ride. There were some closer hotels for $100/day or so,
and a few much cheaper but without internet service (hey, I'm an
addict....)
I only bought my vendor ticket a couple days ago. I thought I saw
something on their site that said tickets bought after n date would be
held at will-call instead of mailed. I do hope it's there!
I haven't too much to sell, so to me it's more of a $70 parking space.
Don't want to haul that boat anchor onto the shuttle bus ;)

I've got spaces 3214/3415 (they're back to back) this year. I'll have a
lot of old (and some newer) computer stuff, random electronic things
with tube in them, and test equipment for sale.

I'm not selling, so I'll just have to drop in on people. I'm staying
with three friends at the University of Dayton. All four of us have
been around computers for a long time, although I have the most legacy
hardware. (and we are all hams, of course)
You might find me hanging around the American Red Cross exhibit, as I am
a Manager of Communications for them and I'll probably put in a few
hours helping out.
I'll certainly visit anyone that I see posted here, with the exception
of calling my cell phone, I don't know of any public bulletin board
where we could contact each other at last minute?
On yet another post somebody mentioned the demise of Hosstraders and the
replacement by NEARFest in New Hampshire. Well I went yesterday and I
thought it was great. Lots of vendors and pretty well attended. I'll
bet today will be even better.

I'd suggest a group SMS text messaging service. txtmob.com is the big
one I know of, but it's failure is that you still have to send the
messages from the web page - users can't text directly to the group
from their phones/PDAs. Despite this, I created a
Dayton07 group on
there that we could try to use. I have basic web services on my
PDA,
but many don't.
If anyone knows of a better system, please suggest it.

Can you write a script that will post a message on their page to be
SMSed out, when your server receives an email?

I believe there service already does that - emailing to
dayton07 at txtmob.com will send an SMS message to the group. I don't
know of any way of handling incoming SMS messages, however.

I don't have a good alternative, but I bought my phone seven years ago
and it only takes calls - no texting.
If you decide to use SMS, enjoy, but I won't see any of the traffic.
I hope to be there, but I have to work out some scheduling logistics.
:-/ I'm doing hourly contracting right now, and taking 8 hours
unpaid leave for Friday is rather expensive.
