Nope, just random call saying they "found it" with my business card in it and then sent it back - all I had to do was pay cab fare. Sometimes you don't ask questions. Also had my package of antacids, which helped out both Shawn and I. @X-13 If it did, it was nice that one of us had the time...

I did get it back, in what was truly a Festivus Miracle. Delivered to the ExCeL in a taxi.

Don't let your Surface 3 out of your sight, ever, even at the hotel.

It looks like my Bett 2010 lanyard needs to be busted out again (retro yellow)

Also, there are many vendor/exhibitor parties on the Friday night, so often Saturday is one where extra loud noises are not appreciated by those in the booths.

World's largest ICT show will attract all kinds of riff-raff, even from the colonies. Plus I think I'll drop off those coffee flavoured chocolates again if I remember, they seemed to go over brilliantly.

Can't wait to come across the pond again, and visit all the stands, including edugeek, of course.

Bett 2015?

It was an impressive show, I must say. Lots to see and do and people to chat with. Thanks for the Edugeek mug - having a tea in it as we speak - I think it was a fair trade for some coffee-flavoured chocolates, don't you think?

I'll make sure to pop by on day 1 and drop off some dodgy North American chocolates for the Edugeek staff, all whilst rocking the retro-yellow lanyard, of course.

My lunch protip: take the cable car over to the O2 for Nandos...the extra cost of the trip (and Nandos for that matter) is worth not having to stand in the queue for 30 minutes or then having to sit on the floor because all the tables are filled.

Haha glad you liked it. Next year if I make it - assuming the Dreamliner isn't falling out of the sky (but that's a different story all together) - I'll bring something with a bit more thought behind it in the chocolate department.

Shame I only brought chocolate...

After dropping by the gents the last few years at ISTE, it's the least I can do to visit edugeek on its home soil I'll wear my lanyard from Philly (or did I get it in Denver or San Diego...it's all a blur)

Looking forward to making the trip over. Staying the whole week at Canary Wharf, so any hints for dining in the area would be appreciated!

Don't forget you can view and edit (basic edits) any Smart file on any board using http://express.smarttech.com/ . You don't even need to install the software.

This was posted on Gizmodo today--a table, like Surface, but specifically for Primary. I'll re-post it here in case you didn't see it. Thoughts? Multitouch: SMART Table for Kids is Like a Cheaper, Funner-er Microsoft Surface

Yes they do, in fact I *ahem* hear EduGeek has some fans from SMART that come around almost daily, whether logged in or not and take note of what you say. ;-) (And also find fixes for their Vista/mac/Linux issues ) When they do come around, they do it unofficially and quietly to muck about, reading stories about cab, innits, etc. Here's the "what's new" file. Most of these kinds of things are put in the KB for your reference. http://www2.smarttech.com/kbdoc/118455 Some more reading may help here SMART - SMART Notebook software,version 10 (Windows) Hope it helps, Otter

When I called it was when we upgraded to the version 3 software and had some problems. It was a very pleasant experience on the phone as the rep was very chatty and nice. One concern: we heard that all production will move to China now, so please don't move the call desk to Asia too! Had too many problems on the phone with the overseas Dell folk.
