A Novices Take on CES 2012
This was my first experience with CES and, as a novice; I suffered a bit of information overload not to mention I think I wore out a pair of shoes. Here is what I took away from the show.
CES 2012 was quite an experience. It was very cool to see much of the gear that is discussed here but I’ve never experienced. If I do it again, I will go in with a game plan rather than trying to take in the entire show. Next I think I’ll attend RMAF to see which I prefer. I’ll conclude with a final word about rooms. I’ll start with the Lamm/Wilson since it got a fair amount of negative publicity here. I didn’t find the folks rude or snooty just very serious and I can understand why some people would find that off putting. The Boulder folks were the most casual and relaxed and Burmester was the most enjoyable. The Sumiko room was nice and talking with Bill is always a treat, too bad we were never able to hook up in the evening. Well there you have it, my take on CES 2012.

Dennis......Thanks for the snap shot. It will be interesting to hear how you compare RMAF to CES.

About 13 I think. I got in too late for the first day so I'd guess about 6, 4, and 3. The last day I was pretty much toast! With a game plan I could have seen more in less time and not been so wiped out. That first day I did a lot of walking and climbing.

At RMAF I spent about 6, 6 and 3. After attending 2008 & 2010 for 2011 I kind of had if figured out. I took the elevator to the highest floor then used the steps to go down. Worked one tower each of the first two days then went back to some key rooms on the morning of the final day. Jim |

Sounds like a good report, Dennis.
Your results are very close to what I am used to seeing.

Well it's nice to know I wasn't too far off on my observations. I tried to keep an open mind, and ear.
