I used to like going to Nanog, because the vendors weren't there to sell you stuff - they were there to advertise. And most of the people were there socially. It was cool.

Its all on the Web, or as you say, in the trade show demo / exhibit areas - you can ask some tough questions, like, when will the Atlas radios be working reliably? They rock when they work, but I'm on pins and needles about the links I'm testing going south. hmmm.. If we all end up someplace this year that's just for WISPs, I'll bring a pair and setup a link for the whole period of time and have a 'bake-off'.. No vendors allowed, or promoters..
