Well aside from the hackers, thieves, and arseholes, it was a pleasent enough experience. The west coast largest lan fest to date.

When you go to events like this 90% of the time your equipment is safe. But given the rabbel and dregs of the universe that this particular event drew in, I consider my loss cheap compared to some.

There were hacking parties where Groups of scum actually hacked into other peoples computers over the lan. They say it was ok because everyone should have had a firewall. Riiiiiiiggghhhhhtttttt.

I did meet a lot of great people there and many people I did meet played hot seat SEIV with me so the loss of a free computer with a $150.00 card in it was well worth it.

I hope I generated a lot of sales for SEIV that day.

Unfortuantly this is true i guess. I personally like to think that if there was a dedicated SEIV Convention that everyone could make it to (Hey it only takes a month to build an escort

) there wouldn't be any sort of problems like this but i'm probably delluding myself. Althought the majority of everyone here seem like genuine nice people.

A bitter sweet topic. Sweet for all the readers and bitter for AT. AT, I had to email this to a friend who works for computer company. Must spread the laughter.

I hope it lightens his day. Proof that there are people in the world with worse luck then most.
