Well,
the MAX is over and it was a great show for me. I met lots of old friends and met some guys from GDC that I had not known before. Several who were at the MAX for the first time.
MAX is held in Monroeville and the best of the three host hotels is the Doubletree, which is right next to the Convention Center.

Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. And remember the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Nice pics Dave and Larry! last year I've seen the Wittman family in a german newspaper. Tom brought back a shooting chain to the town of Rodenberg here is the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTPQsBVwJtsGerd

Thanks, Kreta. I had not seen that video.
That was a great gesture to give the chain back to Rodenberg. The last they had seen of it was in 1945. A GI had 'liberated' it and it was hanging from the barrel of Sherman tank!
