Several weeks after N+I in Atlanta and I'm still scratching my head. Shows are a great way to learn about new products hitting the streets, and to play with some of the latest tools. Yet, one must ask -- what is it with a trade show that makes some vendors lose their mind? Two issues to consider. Spiffs and bunnies. You know, spiffs. All those goodies that vendors bring to the shows to try and lure you into their booth. Unfortunately, it seems that some vendors just don't understand the value of time. Networking professionals go to the shows to learn about new products. Are spiffs a good thing? Sure. Offering a cool spiff or a contest is a great way to get people into the booths to watch the latest product demo. Exactly who thinks of these things though? Here's a tip for the vendors - buy a new barrel and stop scrapping at the bottom of your old one. I mean, if you're going to offer spiffs, at least come up with something better than a glow in the dark button. One vendor decided to give out toe-nail clippers. Sure, they're useful and all, and maybe it's just me, but there's something kinda funky about giving out toe-nail clippers. It just seems, well, ummm, gross. Then we get to the bunnies. They'll try to lure you into the demos, ram literature (and other foreign objects) in your face, and generally just stand around trying to look pretty. Although there are exceptions, most bunnies have the collective intelligence of a snow pea. Being a bunny is a tough job though. Certified with St. Johns Ambulance, I decided to put my emergency first aid skills to good use by offering a bit of advice. Cassandra, a bunny at one booth, appeared to be in serious danger. The poor girl had to stand around all day, with her chest pushed out to the other side of the conference center - now that can't be good for your back. So, being the nice guy I am, I rushed to her side. Psst, Cassandra, you know you're going to destroy your back doing that. While chomping on what appeared to be a full pack of Hubba Bubba, she asks - "Doing what?" Sighing, I hand her the glow in the dark button and walk off into the sunset. Hey, maybe the glow will shed some light on a few things. Oh well, enough babbling. Douglas J.

Charles Rose for his story about the Labrador puppy chewing through the network cabling, and Frank Pietersen, for his story of the file servers that weren't just down - they were stolen! Second, the contest for a free 3 month subscription to Novell's Support Encyclopedia. There were many entries, but there can only be one winner.
