I wasn't on the show floor much; I spent most of the time in my electronics laboratory (err hotel room) building Rejuvenators. However, I was down there and was disappointed at teh crowd Saturady afternoon. It seemed like Sunday afternoon. On Sunday, it was dead until about 1pm and then it was about as busy as any other time until 4pm, when it died like usual. This is my personal opinion, but I feel that, as a vendor, that AmiExpo better do better in the future or you will see more Newteks pulling out of the show. The total display area was the smallest that I have seen and was dominated by resellers, at least 50 percent. This ratio has to decrease. There has been a general trend of lower attendance and I think part is word of mouth related. People are saying that last years or last quarter's AmiExpo wasn't worth going to, so why go this time. I also felt that there were very few people pulled in from the DC area, but I could be mistaken. -Greg
