[comdex] hi shlomi, >>Maybe they are in a partner booth at Comdex with G-Lite ?<< if, i'm following you, that is an interesting thought... if orctf is in a booth which here-to-fore they have not been in... don't expect we'd hear "partner" (to start with), but more like dt at cebit, maybe the orctf presence would be described as some sort of "demonstration"... has been quite a wait, but maybe the consumer side could be falling into place (?)... best wishes s

[comdex] hi shlomi, well one booth they won't be in is intc's.. as intc won't be having one.. but it was a fun thought while it lasted... ;) understand that you were not necessarily implying anything.. nor was i really.. but still think that intc's g.lite plans bear watching.. from todays wsj --- November 5, 1998 Digits Digits: Gambits & Gadgets In the World of Technology Comdex snubbed, part one: In a major defection, Intel Corp. has opted to forego a booth at the giant Comdex Fall trade show in Las Vegas later this month. Intel has paid for exhibition space every year since 1989, but this year will pass. "We decided it just didn't make sense anymore," says Robert Singer, Intel's director of corporate events. "It's just too hard to cut through the clutter." Exhibitors have complained for years about the show's increasing size and cost. Other recent defectors include International Business Machines Corp. and Netscape Communications Corp. Officials of Comdex, which is owned by Japan's Softbank Holdings, note that Intel won't be a complete no-show. The chip maker still plans to rent 3,000 square feet of space for meetings and promotional activities. Intel's president and chief executive, Craig Barrett, will also deliver a keynote. But this way, Intel figures it will spend only $1 million on the show -- about half of last year's expense. "Even the largest of shows have to be measured on their return on investment," Mr. Singer says. * * * til later s
